E
You've got a face not spoiled by beauty
F#                       G#m
I have some scars from where I've been
E
You've got eyes that can see right through me
F#                       G#m
You're not afraid of anything they've seen

       E
I was told that I would feel
    F#       G#m
Nothing the first time
          E
I don't know how these cuts heal
        F#                G#m
But in you, I've found a right

Chorus:
               E
If there is a light
                B
You can always see
                F#
And there is a world
              G#m
We can always be
               E
If there is a dark
               B
Within and without
                F#
And there is a light
                G#m
Don't let it go out

               E  B
And this is a song
   F#       G#m
A song for someone
           E  B
This is a song
   F#       G#m
A song for someone

You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You're breaking into my imagination
Whatever's in there it's yours to take

I was told I would feel
Nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night

Chorus

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
This is song for someone

           E B
And I'm a long way
      F#              G#m
From your hill on Calvary
           E    B
And I'm a long way
              F#                  G#m
From where I was, where I need to be
               E                    B
If there is a light you can always see
                F#                 G#m
And there is a world we can always be
               E                       B
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
                F#                    G#m
And there is a light, don't let it go out
