C 
There's a place that you're safe 

That I want you to see 
        G 
I don't care if it hurts 

Crash into me 
Am                     F 
Let tomorrow clear the smoke 

          C 
There's a spark in your heart 

That's all you need 
G                           Am 
Let me be your trail of gasoline 
                           F 
Don't let the fire get too low 


             Am 
When you're tired of faith 
                    F 
And searching for a sign 


            C 
I'll be the light 
                         G 
When there's nothing but night 
                       Am 
Till now you've had to feel your way 
                           F 
Through the honest lies of yesterday 

               C 
I'll guide you in 
                         G 
No matter how long you've been 
                 Am 
Lost in love and all alone 
                  F 
A million miles away from home 
              Am              F 
And when your dawn refuses to fight 
            C 
I'll be the light 


       C 
Circle in like a plane 
             
When you're ready to land 
G                         Am 
The runaway signals in my hands 
                             F 
Through the clouds of your denial 

    C 
I remember the you that you were then 
  G 
I remember days that would never end 
Am                      F 
Can you remember how to smile? 


            Am 
When you're out of faith 
                      F 
I'll give you some of mine 


            C 
I'll be the light 
                         G 
When there's nothing but night 
                       Am 
Till now you've had to feel your way 
                                 F 
Through the honest lies of yesterday 

               C 
I'll guide you in 
                         G 
No matter how long you've been 
                 Am 
Lost in love and all alone 
                  F 
A million miles away from home 
              Am              F 
And when your dawn refuses to fight 
            C 
I'll be the light 
        G 
You can count on me 
          Am 
Open your eyes 
             F 
And you will see 


               C 
I'll guide you in 
              G 
No matter how long you've been 
        Am 
Lost in love and all alone 
  F 
A million miles away from home 
              C               G 
And when your dawn refuses to fight 
            C 
I'll be the light 
        G 
You can count on me 
          Am 
Open your eyes 
             F 
And you will see 


            C 
I'll be the light 
                         G 
When there's nothing but night 
     Am                          F 
Till now you've had to feel your way 
               C 
I'll guide you in 
                          G 
No matter how long you've been 
                 Am 
Lost in love and all alone 
                F 
A million miles away from home 
              C               G 
And when your dawn refuses to fight 
              Am              F 
And when your dawn refuses to fight 
            C         G 
I'll be the light 
            Am        F 
I'll be the light
