C Am

In this light I'm lost

C Am

In the darkness of before I walked

Bb Dm

and knew where I was all the time

Bb Dm G C F

Seeing with every part of who I am

Dm G C F

Anyway, you're a ghost in life

Dm G C F

Pushed right out and kept inside

G F G F

of a bodiless weight

G F G F

Pressure that has no space

C Am

As he goes along

C Am

He takes what he's lost

Bb Dm

and discards what he's won

Bb Dm G C F

He's every bit as alive as you and I

Dm G C F

Everybody kills the light

Dm G C F

When they're 'bout to sleep for the night

C Am

As you go through life

C Am

You're a star in flight

Bb Dm

When you close your eyes at night

Bb Dm G C F

Someone clears a path for you to ride

Dm G C F

When you wake the next day

Dm G C F

You will only go that way

G F G F

That was made for you, made for you,

Made for you, made for you,

Cleared for you, cleared for you,

Cleared for you, cleared for you...
