[Intro]
B
.(White light)
E
.(White light)

[Verse 1]
B
..Watch it wash away like new
dawn on a different day
                   E
Show me where the light is,
show me where the light is
B
..Wake up, clean the slate and
work out who you are today
                   E
Show me where the light is,
show me where the light is

[Verse 2]
B
Empty my plate so
I don't feel estranged
we bend 'til we break, then remake
                        E
Oh, show me where the light is Oh,
show me where the light is

B
..Sit and pray in a quiet place,
I sing until my voice escapes
                    E
Show me where the light is,
it shows me where the light is
E
..I've been trying to find it
