Introduction:
F#m D
The cry of the city like a siren's song
F#m D
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
F#m D
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
E
Must be someone's soul passing by
F#m
These are the streets
D
Where we used to run where your Papa's from
F#m
These are the days
D
Where you become what you become
F#m
These are the streets
D
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
E
Darkness settles in Oh-Oh

Shine your light down on me

Lift me up so I can see
D A E F#m
Shine your light when you're gone
D A
Give me the strength
E A D? A
To carry on, carry on
F#m
Don't wanna be a hero
D
Just an everyday man
F#m D
Trying to do the job the very best he can
F#m D
But now it's like living on borrowed time
E
Out on the rim, over the line
F#m D
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
F#m D
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
F#m D
Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall
E
Loose hold your grip off the wall
D A E F#m
Shine your light down on me

Shine your light when you're gone

Bm E
I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road
D A
Maybe trying to find his way home

He's here but not here

He's gone but not gone
D E
Just hope he knows if I get lost

Shine your light down on me

Shine your light when you're gone
