Intro: Am | G | F | Dm7

        Am
I had a way
    G              F          Dm7
Then losing it all on my own.
        Am
I had a heart
    G                       F           Dm7
Then but the queen has been overthrown.
       Am
And I’m not sleeping
G       F                Dm7
Now the dark is too hard to beat.
       Am
And I’m not keeping
G       F                  Dm7
Now the strength I need to push me.

                Am
   You show the lights
                G
   That stop me turn to stone,
       F                  Dm7
   You shine me when I’m alone,
            Am
   And so I tell myself
        G
   That I’ll be strong
       F                     Dm7
   And dreaming when they’re gone.

                  Am
   ‘Cause they’re calling,
            G
   Calling, calling me home,
   F                 Dm7
   Calling, calling, calling home.
                Am
   You show the lights
                G
   That stop me turn to stone,
       F                  Dm7
   You shine me when I’m alone. Home.

Noises,
I play within my head,
Touch my own skin
And hope they’re still breathing.
And I think back
To when my brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place,
The only time I feel safe.

   You show the lights
   That stop me turn to stone,
   You shine me when I’m alone,
   And so I tell myself
   That I’ll be strong
   And dreaming when they’re gone.

   ‘Cause they’re calling,
   Calling, calling me home,
   Calling, calling, calling home.
   You show the lights
   That stop me turn to stone,
   You shine me when I’m alone. Home.

Instrumental: Am | G | F | Dm7  } ×2

     Am             G
     Light, lights, lights, lights,
     F              Dm7
     Light, lights, lights, lights.
     Am             G
     Light, lights, lights, lights,
     F              Dm7
     Light, lights.

   You show the lights
   That stop me turn to stone,
   You shine me when I’m alone,
   And so I tell myself
   That I’ll be strong
   And dreaming when they’re gone.

   ‘Cause they’re calling,
   Calling, calling me home,
   Calling, calling, calling home.
   You show the lights
   That stop me turn to stone,
   You shine me when I’m alone. Home.

Am    G  F Dm7
Home, home,
Am    G  F Dm7
Home, home,
Am    G  F Dm7
Home, home,
Am    G  F Dm7
Home, home.
