Bm7            Em7
Wake up, say a little prayer,
 Em                Em7-5
out of bed to the bathroom where
   F#7
I take a look at myself
      Bm7
And I stop and stare, and
  Em7                F#7
I wonder who is this standing here

       Bm              G            Em
And I try to find the will to carry on
       Bm              G           Em
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
             A         F#7     Bm             A
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do

Chorus:
D   D7    G
Hey, how are you true?
       F#                 Bm           A
The light will guide you home, yes it will
D   D7    G
Hey, how are you true?
            F#                          Bm
Well there's one thing that you should know,
          A
yes you should
         Bm7             Em6            Em Em6
You need love, you need love, you need love
         Bm7        Em6           Em Em6
You need lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love

All your days spend counting numbers
'Til one day you'll find (day you'll find)
That life has passed you by
And in the quiet still of silence try
to hide your eyes (hide your eyes)
Oh no so don't cry, oh no

Chorus:
Hey, how are you true?
The light will guide you home, yes it will
Oh the years, they turn so fast
Soon the present will be past
and you'll look back and laugh
Yes you will

Well I can still remember, yes,
I was a young man too
Alone, but not forgotten and
the candle shining through
Still all these words
I've spoken don't mean anything at all
Without love, without love, without love
Without love
Do, do, do, oh yeah
Do, do, do, oh yeah

I remember clearly we were both
there on the airplane
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
I thought that you were joking
You were actually quite serious
