[Verse 1]
When I was lost
E                     A               B
You stood there silent
E           G#m           A                     B
And kept the light on inside me
E                               G#m
And when I broke down
E           A           B                     E
And all the world turned to gray
G#m                     A                     B
You told me time would be gentle

[Chorus]
D     A                     E                     B
And nobody knows your name
D           A                     E           B
Yeah, nobody knows your name
D                                         A
To me you’re a mountain
C#m                                         B
Or some shining lighthouse that guided my way
D                     A                     E
But nobody knows your name

[Verse 2]
E                     G#m
You held me up
E           A           B           E
When I was drowning
G#m                               A                     B
And wrapped me in your spare blankets
E                     G#m
And you held my head
E           A       B         E
While I lay broken
G#m                     A                   B
And told me I would sleep soundly
And that life goes on

[Chorus]
D                     A           E           B
And nobody knows your name
D                A             E                B
Yeah, nobody knows your name
D                               A
To me you’re a giant
C#m                                                  B
Or some distant lighthouse that guided my way
D                     A
But nobody knows

[Outro]
E                     G#m
Now that I’m gone
E           A           B                     E
And standing on my own two feet
G#m           A                     B
I still remember you fondly
