G Em
Now you were my shining light
C G
When there wasn't much light to be found
G Em
Yeah the darkness had covered me
C D
And emptiness was about
G Em
You had such a smile on you
C G
It brightened up my day
G Em
And I would walk to the ends of this earth
C G
Just to hear you say
C G
Say that it's alright
C G
Lay your head down on me
C G
Close your eyes babe
C G
And set yourself free
C G
I bet you're tired
C G
Of being so alone
C G
Open your heart babe
C G
Let my love take you home
Now I was a driftin'
Out in the night
You were called to me
With your shining light
The waves of yesterday
Well you made them all lie down
And you pulled me into you
So I wouldn't drown
(Chorus)
Em C G
You are my shining light in the darkness
Em C G D
You are my hope at the end of the day
Em C G
You are my everything I must confess
C D
And now baby just let me hear you say
(Chorus)
