C#
Standing here in the rain,
                    D#m
I can see the water soaking through
          F#
The holes in your shoes
C#
And turn your mind from the storm,
         D#m
Get you somewhere safe
          F#
Where it's soft and warm
C#
I'm waiting here at a dim street light,
        D#m                 F#
Orange dances around in your empty eyes
C#
And I can see straight into your soul,
        D#m              F#        C# G#
Feeling oh so lost and out of control?? Oh

Chorus:
F#
Shine
         C#                       G#
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
F#
Shine
        C#                       G#
If the world gets you down don't be afraid to wrestle it
F#
Shine
               C#                       G#
You have your whole life ahead of you, Come make a mess of it
F#
Shine
         C#                      G#                      F# G#
If your heart tells you to then who are you to question it
Who are you to question it

Tired now, feeling scared
Unfamiliar light floods into the room
You have walked into
Hopeful eyes looking out
As you wait alone
Hiding tears of doubt

Now holding back as you realize your abandonment
You'll be cast aside
And I can see straight into your soul
Feeling oh so lost and out of control

Chorus

F#
Hold my hand when the lights go down
                                            C#
And you're feeling scared but no one understands
Whoa oh
F#
Keep your head up and don't look down
                                           C#
I'll guide your steps to keep you on the ground
Whoa oh
              G#
Your love is strong
                       F#
And they just don't deserve
                       C#
To choose where you belong

Chorus
