G D
[Verse 1]
G C
Falling, through a, spinning room and I am

Wrestling with knowing that, seven years could be so long

And in the silence growing
Am C
A single drop of memory

A citadel around my kneeling form
[Pre-chorus]

And all across the city night

All the colours come alive
D Em
All the revelry it washes over me
C
Through the discord and the din
D
You would always draw me in
Em C
I the iron you the lode you are my guiding light
[Chorus]
G D Em C
You are my compass, you're my guiding light

G C
And you, sang to me with a voice so sweet and strong
G C
You, called me over through a, crowded room of strangers
G D
And as the clamour realigned
Am C
You were by the fireside
G D
It was like the first time, that I was sober
[Pre-chorus]
C Em
And all across the city night
C
All the colours come alive

All the revelry it washes over me

Through the sickness setting in

You are amitriptyline

I the infirm you the cure you are my guiding light

And if the walls should crumble in

Resign to rot and ruin

Through the rubble I would wander heedless

You and I will huddle in

I can see that through it all you are my guiding light
