[Intro]
Bm7 Em7 Em Em6 F#7
[Verse 1]
Bm7 Em7 Em Em6 F#7
Wake up, say a little prayer, out of bed to the bathroom where I take a look at myself
Bm7 Em7 F#7
And I stop and stare, and I wonder who is this standing here
[Pre-chorus 1]
Bm G Em
And I try to find the will to carry on
Bm G Em
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
A F#7 Bm A A7
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do
[Chorus 1]
D D7 G F# Bm A A7
Hey, how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will
D D7 G F# Bm A A7
Hey, how are you true? Well there's one thing that you should know, yes you should
Bm7 Em6 Em Em6
You need love, you need love, you need love
Bm7 Em6 Em Em6
You need lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Verse 2]
Bm Em
All your days spend countin' numbers 'til one day you'll find,
F#7 Bm
That life has passed you by
Bm Em
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
F#7 Bm A A7
Oh no, no, don't cry, oh no
[Chorus 2]
D D7 G F# Bm A A7
Hey, how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will
D D7 G F# Bm
Oh the years, they turn so fast, soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
A
Yes you will
[Verse 3]
Bm G Em F#7
Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too
Bm G Em F#7
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through
Bm G Em F#7
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
Bm7 Em6 Em Em6
Without love, without love, without love
Bm7 Em6 Em Em6
Without lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Chorus 3]
D7 G F#7 Bm A A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah
D7 G F#7 Bm A A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah
[Outro]
Bm7 Em6 G F#
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
Bm7 Em6 G F#
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
Bm7 Em6 G F#
I thought that you were joking, you were actually quite serious
