Verse:
G                 D  
All day permanent red,
    C           G
the glaze on my eyes.
                  D  
When I heard your voice,
    C                       G
the distance caught me by surprise again.
      D        C                 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  
Relate to my youth,
         C              G
well I'm still in awe of you.
                  D  
Discover some new truth,
             C                     G
and that was always wrapped around you.
G         D                C     G
Don't just slip away in the night,
G         D         C             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

               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.
