Chords

[Intro] G / / / / / / [Verse]
G                 D/G
All day permanent red,

    C/G         G
the glaze on my eyes.

                  D/G
When I heard your voice,

    C/G                     G
the distance caught me by surprise again.

      D/G      C/G               G
And I know you claim that you're alright;

    C             G
but fix your eyes on me,

                   C
I guess I'm all you have

                   G             D
and I swear you'll see the dawn again.
[Chorus]
       C                          G
Well I know I had it all on the line,

               Em                               D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.

       Am                            G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,

Em                                   D
you'll always be my only guiding light.
[Verse]
G            D/G
Relate to my youth,

         C/G            G
well I'm still in awe of you.

                  D/G
Discover some new truth,

             C/G                   G
and that was always wrapped around you.

G         D/G              C/G   G
Don't just slip away in the night,

G         D/G       C/G           G
dont just hurl your words from on high.
[Chorus]
       C                        G
Well I know I had it all on the line,

               Em                               D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.

       Am                            G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,

       Em                        D
you'll always be my only guiding light.
[Bridge]
Am                           G
    If we come back and were broken,

Am                Em
    unworthy and ashamed,

Am                         G
    give us something to believe in,

Am                            D / / / Am / / / G / / / Em / / / D / / /
    and you know well go your way
[Chorus]
         C                        G
'Cause I know I had it all on the line,

               Em                               D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.

       Am                            G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,

       Em                        D
you'll always be my only guiding light.
