F#mThe cry of the city like a sDiren's song 
F#mWailing over the rooftops tDhe whole night long 
F#mSaw a shooting star like a diamDond in the sky 
EMust be someone's soul passing by 
F#mThese are the streets 
Where we useDd to run where your Papa's from 
F#mThese are the days 
Where you becomDe what you become 
F#mThese are the streets 
Where the stDory's told 
The truth unfolds 
DarknesEs settles in      Oh-Oh 
DShine your liAght Edown on F#mme 
DLift me Aup sEo I can F#msee 
DShine your liAght wEhen you'rF#me gone 
DGive me the streAngth 
            E              A   D?   A  
To carry on, carry on 
F#mDon't wanna be a hero 
Just an everyday Dman 
F#mTrying to do the job the very Dbest he can 
F#mBut now it's like living on boDrrowed time 
Out oEn the rim , over the line 
F#mAlways tempting fate like a game Dof chance 
F#mNever wanna stick around to the Dvery last dance 
F#mSometimes I stumble and take Da hard fall 
Loose Ehold your grip off the wall 
DShine your liAght Edown on F#mme 
DLift me Aup sEo I can F#msee 
DShine your liAght wEhen you'rF#me gone

BmI thought I saw him walking by the sEide of the road 
DMaybe trying to find his way hoAme 
He's hBmere but not here

Just hopDe he knows if I get Elost E

F#m

F#m D

The cry of the city like a siren's song

F#m D

Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long

F#m D

Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky

Must be someone's soul passing by

F#m

These are the streets

Where we used to run where your Papa's from

F#m

These are the days

Where you become what you become

F#m

These are the streets

Where the story's told

The truth unfolds

Darkness settles in Oh-Oh

D A E F#m

Shine your light down on me

D A E F#m

Lift me up so I can see

D A E F#m

Shine your light when you're gone

D A

Give me the strength

E A D A

To carry on, carry on

F#m

Don't wanna be a hero

Just an everyday man

F#m D

Trying to do the job the very best he can

F#m D

But now it's like living on borrowed time

Out on the rim , over the line

F#m D

Always tempting fate like a game of chance

F#m D

Never wanna stick around to the very last dance

F#m D

Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall

Loose hold your grip off the wall

D A E F#m

Shine your light down on me

D A E F#m

Lift me up so I can see

D A E F#m

Shine your light when you're gone

D A

Give me the strength

To carry on, carry on

I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road

D A

Maybe trying to find his way home

He's here but not here

He's gone but not gone

D E E

Just hope he knows if I get lost

D A E F#m

Shine your light down on me

D A E F#m

Lift me up so I can see

Shine your light when you're gone
