Am  Em  F  C     Am  Em  F  G
[Verse]
AmMaking Emtime, Fmaking Cdo 
AmGetting Emby, just Fpassing Gthrough
FHere tCoday, gDmone toCmorrow
The Ftime is never Cours, it’s Fonly ever bGorrowed
And you Ammight not get the Emstory, you Fmight not get the Csong
The Amemperor’s new Emclothes, they might lFook all Gwrong
FIn this Cworld, Dmbut not oCf it
Just Fshine your lCight, and Frise aGbove it
[Chorus]
And that Fsame cold Cwind that blew you hDmere will someday bClow you home
FFace to the gCale, ride the eFdge closer Gto the bone
You Fmight be outCnumbered but you’re nDmever going to Cbe alone
At Fnight shine your Clight, every Fmorning roll Gaway that Amstone
[Verse]
You Amdon’t know how to Emstop so you jFust keep Cgoing
You Amdon’t know which Emway that wind’s Fgonna be Gblowing 
The Fwater’s still Chere but the Dmriver keeps fClowing
There’s a Ftrain a cComing, which Fway will you be Ggoing
[Chorus]
And that Fsame cold Cwind that blew you hDmere will someday bClow you home
FFace to the gCale, ride the eFdge closer Gto the bone
You Fmight be outCnumbered but you’re nDmever going to Cbe alone
At Fnight shine your Clight, every Fmorning roll Gaway that Amstone
Am  Em  F  G
Am....Em....Froll aGway that sAmtone

Getting by, just passing through

And you might not get the story, you might not get the song

In this world, but not of it

Just shine your light, and rise above it

And that same cold wind that blew you here will someday blow you home

At night shine your light, every morning roll away that stone
