[Intro]
D  G  D  Em  D
[Verse 1]
You say your tDime has come
You're tired of wAaking up
Don't be obscGene, I can't concDeive of
Living withAout you
You say you drDag me down
No one should wAant you now
When I start to crGy, you kiss my Deyes and say
I'm not allAowed to
[Chorus]
BEmurning beacon Ain the night
Can't fDeel its heat, or sGee its light
That sEmingle solitAary guide
it mDust get lonely thGere sometimes
[Verse 2]
You were a chDild forgot
Lessons of lAove untaught
Now no embrGace can quite replDace
The one that never fAound you
I was raised tDenderly
All that was tAaught to me
I will applGy, your parents trDied
but they didn't know hAow to
[Chorus]
BEmurning beacon Ain the night
Can't fDeel its heat, or sGee its light

The honor is mGineD  
Let me stand bGy youD  
Loneliest lGight, loneliest light, loneliest lDightG  D  G  
[Chorus]
BEmurning beacon Ain the night
Can't fDeel its heat, or sGee its light
That sEmingle solitAary guide

[Intro]

D G D Em D

[Verse 1]

You say your time has come

You're tired of waking up

G D

Don't be obscene, I can't conceive of

Living without you

You say you drag me down

No one should want you now

G D

When I start to cry, you kiss my eyes and say

I'm not allowed to

[Chorus]

Em A

Burning beacon in the night

D G

Can't feel its heat, or see its light

Em A

That single solitary guide

D G

it must get lonely there sometimes

[Verse 2]

You were a child forgot

Lessons of love untaught

G D

Now no embrace can quite replace

The one that never found you

I was raised tenderly

All that was taught to me

G D

I will apply, your parents tried

but they didn't know how to

[Chorus]

Em A

Burning beacon in the night

D G

Can't feel its heat, or see its light

Em A

That single solitary guide

D G D G D G D

it must get lonely there sometimes

[Bridge]

G D

Let me stand by you

G D

The honor is mine

G D

Let me stand by you

G D G D G

Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light

[Chorus]

Em A

Burning beacon in the night

D G

Can't feel its heat, or see its light

Em A

That single solitary guide

D G D

it must get lonely there sometimes
