G                  D 
All day permanent red,
     C           G
the glaze on my eyes.
                   D 
When I heard your voice,
      C                        G
the distance caught me by surprise again.
        D        C                  G
And I know you claim that you're alright;
     C            G
but fix your eyes on me,
                     C
I guess I'm all you have
                    G             D
and I swear you'll see the dawn again.

Chorus:
         C                       G
Well I know I had it all on the line,
                Em                                D
but don't just sit with folded hands and become blind.
       Am                             G
'Cause even when there is no star in sight,
       Em                         D
you'll always be my only guiding light.

Relate to my youth
Well I'm still in awe of you
Discover some new truth
That was always wrapped around you

But don’t just slip away in the night
And don’t just hurl your words from on high

Chorus

Am                         G
If we come back and were broken,
Am              Em
unworthy and ashamed,
Am                      G
give us something to believe in,
Am                         D Am G Em D
and you know well go your way

Chorus:
'Cause I know I had it all on the line
But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind
'Cause even when there is no star in sight
You'll always be my only guiding light
And I know I had it all on the line
But don't just sit with folded hands and become blind
'Cause even when there is no star in sight
You'll always be my only guiding light
