[Verse 1]

Am
All along the street

                           G
They're holding signs that say

That I am lost

         F       E          Am
And that I do not know the way

I asked the rock

                      G
Sitting in a shade of grey

I asked the rock

          F      E        Am
He didn't have a thing to say

[Chorus]

Am          G            C
But you are the only light I see

            D            Am
You are the only light I need

          G            C
When everybody else is sleeping

          D                Am
You come along and help me breathe

[Verse 2]

Am
When I was a stone

                               G
No one knew that I was there

I'd sing my song and

      F      E        Am
No one ever really cared

I went to the mountain

                       G
Face all covered in tears

I wept but

       F      E        Am
Mountain didn't seem to hear

[Chorus]

Am          G            C
So you are the only light I see

            D            Am
You are the only light I need

          G            C
When everybody else is sleeping

          D                Am
You come along and help me breathe

You are the only light I see (x2) [Verse 3]

Am
I love you

                                  G
'Till the mountain starts to cry

I love you

              F      E        Am
If I don't know the reason why

I love you

                             G
Until I do not know my name

I ask you

            F      E        Am
Wouldn't you have done the same

[Chorus]

 Am          G            C
Oh you are the only light I see

            D            Am
You are the only light I need

          G            C
When everybody else is sleeping

          D                Am
You come along and help me breathe

You are the only light I see You are the only light I need When everybody else is sleeping You bring the magic over me You are the only light I see (x4)
