[Intro] Bm7 Em7 Em Em6 F#7 [Verse 1]
Bm7            Em7            Em                Em6              F#7
Wake up, say a little prayer, out of bed to the bathroom where I take a look at myself

      Bm7                   Em7                F#7 
And I stop and stare, and I wonder who is this standing here
[Pre-chorus 1]
      Bm              G             Em  
And I try to find the will to carry on

       Bm                G         Em     
Wonder how much longer I can carry on

            A         F#7     Bm             A       A7
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do
[Chorus 1]
D   D7       G                 F#                   Bm           A       A7
Hey,     how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will

D   D7       G                  F#                                Bm            A       A7
Hey,     how are you true? Well there's one thing that you should know, yes you should

         Bm7            Em6            Em       Em6
You need love, you need love, you need love

         Bm7         Em6         Em       Em6      
You need lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Verse 2]
Bm                                            Em
All your days spend countin' numbers 'til one day you'll find,

     F#7                 Bm 
That life has passed you by

Bm                                       Em
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes

F#7              Bm      A       A7 
Oh no, no, don't cry, oh no
[Chorus 2]
D   D7       G                 F#                   Bm           A       A7
Hey,     how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will

D   D7                           G                              F#                            Bm
      Oh the years, they turn so fast, soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh

        A
Yes you will
[Verse 3]
Bm               G               Em              F#7
Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too

Bm             G                 Em             F#7   
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through

Bm                         G                 Em          F#7
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all

        Bm7           Em6            Em       Em6         
Without love, without love, without love

        Bm7         Em6         Em       Em6 
Without lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Chorus 3]
D7          G               F#7             Bm     A       A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah

D7          G               F#7             Bm     A       A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah
[Outro]
Bm7       Em6                 G                 F#
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane

Bm7             Em6              G            F#
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming

Bm7                    Em6                  G              F#
I thought that you were joking, you were actually quite serious
