INTRO
E           A          E          A
Shine like an Earclight              ASing like a F#mbird might singA  
When he was   higher than heaven                Higher than every other thing
Some kind of  arclight                          Sparks in the street
Well I      know that you've no answers         All I need is for  you to shine
E           A            E               A
Shine like an Earclight                  ALike I F#mwant you to shineA  
Oh I         know that you've   nobody  And  I know that you're not  mine
But the      light that you are         And the light you can be
Is the       only thing I       want    The    only light I can     see
You don't have to Bknow the Awords     E    AAnd you don't have to Bknow the ArulesE  A  
Chorus
You just Eshine in the morning like the sun ABurn like a candle in the night
F#mShine like a book that's never been read  ABurn like a saint who knows he's right
EShine like a shard of glass               AOn the forest ground
Fm#When you shine you kAnow                   You burn me EdownA  E  A  
Well I     Edon't wear no chains        AI've got   F#mno cross to bearA  
And I'm as free as the whale           I'm as     free as the air
I'm as     free as the old             I'm as     cold as the dawn
And I'm as lost as you are             you are my only law
You don't have to     Bknow the AwordsE  A  
And you don't have to know the rules
And you never had to Bspeak, never had to sApeak    oh Eno,     oh no,      oh Ano
And you never had to Bspeak, never had to sApeak    oh Eno,     oh no,      oh nAo
Chorus

Down, down, down                You burn me down           Down, down, down

Down, down, down                You burn me down           Down, down, down
