Em7Name your pBm7rice, A Em7ticket to Bm7paradise
I can't Am7stay here aCnymore
And I've looked Em7high and Bm7low
And I've Em7been from shore to Bm7shore to shore
If there's a Am7shortcut, I'd have Cmaj7found it
But there's Cmaj7no easy way Bm7around it.
[Chorus 1]
Am7Light of the Em7world, Cmaj7shine on Bm7me
Em7Love is the Am7answer
Am7Shine on us Em7all, Cmaj7set us fBm7ree
Em7Love is the aAm7nswer.
[Verse 2]
Em7Who knows Bm7why,
Em7Someday we all must Bm7die
We're all Am7homeless boys and Cgirls
And we are Em7never hBm7eard,
It's such a lEm7onely, lonely, wBm7orld.
PBm7eople Cmaj7turn their heads and C/Dwalk on by
Tell me is it Cmaj7worth just another Bm7try?
[Chorus 3]
Am7Light of the wEm7orld, Cmaj7shine on Bmme
Em7Love is the aAm7nswer
