Cheryl Wheeler - Beyond The Lights
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:    F     Dm     Am     Bb  
FThought you'd bide your Dmtime and play your Bbpart
But you were Fwrong Cdear
FSomewhere down the Dmline your lonely Bbheart
Could not beFlong ChereAm  
And in some Dmframe of reasonBb  
Beyond our FviCsion
FYour love lagged beDmhind and Cfell aBbpart
Without a Dm7soul Cto Fhear
On a night like Dmthis the stars don't Bbshine
And there's no FmoonClight
FWe're like you I Dmguess, we bide our Bbtime
Try to play our Fparts CrightAm  
And wonder Dmwhere you gatheredBb  
Your angry FsorCrowF  
Through the rolling Dmmist the Cscenes unBbwind
They seem so Dm7clear Cto-FnightDm  
BRIDGE:
And in my Bbsleep you are Fcrying Cstill
The Bbway you touch your Fbrow, hang your CheadDm  
I never Bbknew and I Fnever Cwill
The Bbvoices haunting Fyou, a Athing that I could Bbdo
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    Dm    Bb   Dm   C    Am    Dm    Bb   Dm     C  F  
Were they in your Dmstars, those lonely Bbnights
Tormented FhoCurs?
FSomething snapped your Dmspars and slacked your Bblines
And took your FpowCersAm  
Did no one Dmsee you sinkingBb  
'Til you'd gone FunCder?F  
While you slipped so Dmfar beCyond the Bblights
Were we just Dm7watchCing Fours?
OUTRO:   Dm    Bb    Dm    C    F(3x)
