[Intro]
D


[Verse 1]
D
Been trying
   F#m
to find,
This person I
E
wanna be,
D           F#m
Behind the lines,
Are the letters I
E
wanna read,
It’s a
       D
little hazy
      F#m
in my mind,
     E
As I try to see
the signs.


[Pre-Chorus 1]
      D
And I call
F#m  E
your name.

[Chorus]
        A
When it all
seems
out of place,
    F#m
The light it
 slowly
 fades,
        E
I don’t know
 what’s
right,
          D
Show me a meaning.
A
Somewhere in the
night,
      F#m
You’d be my
guiding
 light,
    E
You wake me up
yeah,
D
 You give me a
 reason.


[Interlude]
F#m  E  D


[Verse 2]
D
Just before it
     F#m
goes wrong,
The silence is
E          Esus4
broken down,
D
When I was just
F#m
holding on,
             E
You were the one
     Esus4
that helped me out,
     D
That place where
       F#m
no one knows,
           E
Said those words
that brought me
home.


[Pre-Chorus 2]
      D   F#m  E
And I see your face.


[Chorus]
        A
When it all seems
out of place,
    F#m
The light it
slowly
 fades,
        E
I don’t know
what’s
 right,
          D
Show me a meaning.
A
Somewhere in
the
 night,
      F#m
You’d be my
guiding
 light,
    E
You wake me up
 yeah,
D
 You give me a
 reason.


[Bridge]
D       E
Singing out
across
    F#m A
the line,
D          E
You always showed
       F#m A
me the signs,
D        E
Yeh your loving
  F#m A
defined,
D        E
Hope you know how
         F#m A
much you shine.

[Outro]
        A
When it all seems
 out of place,
  A
Before it fades
 away,
    E
You know what’s
right,
          D
Show me a meaning.
A
Somewhere in the
 night,
      F#m
You’d be my guiding
 light,
    E
You wake me up,
    D
hmm mm,
 You give me
a reason.
