Chords

[Intro] Dm Bb C Gm Dm Bb C Bb Dm [Verse]
Am
Walking down a lonely road

             Bb
A ghost city sidewalk scene

C
And I wonder if there's a place

                          Bb
Where they bury all their unborn dreams - oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F     Gm            Am
Some castle in the sky

  Bb              Dm
A place that only I can back down to

    C                                 Bb
And look out for that shining guide ablaze out somewhere
[Chorus 1]
              Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain

                   Bb
That's gonna shine away the pain

               C
Gonna draw the moonlight down

             Bb
All is gonna tumble down

              Dm
Are you gonna guide me starlight

Bb
Guide me starlight

          C
Won't you send me a sign?
Dm [Verse 2]
Am
You're adrift until you strand

                    Bb
Desert island of mundanity

C
You circle round your solitude

                             Bb
Within the walls they call austerity
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F       Gm            Am
I know maybe it's insane

            Bb                 Dm
To dream of what you'll never gain

               C                        Bb
Nothing on the line, driven by unsettled certainty
[Chorus 2]
              Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain

                     Bb
That's gonna shine away the pain

              C
Gonna cite a figment down

               Bb
Yet I'm gonna stick around

               Dm
Are you gonna guide me starlight

Bb
Guide me starlight

        C                       Gm
Are you out there, anywhere, at all?

Bb
Anywhere at all
[Bridge]
Gm                  Dm
If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground

F
Just like you before they're near me

C
Run out in the clouds forever near me

Bb             Dm             C
I won't even be a foolish memory

              Am
Waiting for a sign in vain

F
Orphan star...

G
Shine on me!
[Chorus 3]
              Cm
Waiting for a sign in vain

             Ab
Gonna shine away the pain

                Bb
Gonna draw the moonlight down

              Ab
All is gonna tumble down

              Cm
Are you gonna hear me starlight

Ab
Hear me starlight

        Bb                  Fm
Are you out there anywhere at all
[Chorus 1]
              Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain

                   Bb
That's gonna shine away the pain

               C
Gonna draw the moonlight down

             Bb
All is gonna tumble down

              Dm
Are you gonna guide me starlight

Bb
Guide me starlight

C                Gm      Dm
Are you out there
