Verse I
G
Daylight is fading
You're sipping your potion
D
You ain't thinking straight
Simply lost the emotion
Em Cadd9
Wasting your time thru the night
G D
Like a kid on the run
G
The lights of the city now
Spread like an ocean
D
Everything around you
Would turn in slow motion
Em Cadd9
Asking yourself all the time
G D
Where has everyone gone
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9 Em
And all I need
D
Is a guiding light
[Refrão]Chorus
G
So hold up the fire
Say it out loud
D
For someone to hear you
Out of the crowd
Em
In these millions of people
Cadd9 D
Millions of dreams to come true
G
And you're stuck in the middle
Lost in the light
D
You feel that the flame is
Fading inside
Em
While somebody is dreaming
Cadd9 D
Dreaming of someone like you
Verse II
G
We've been chasing down pavements
And all avenues
D
We were close at a station
I'm sure it was you
Em
On that late night train
Cadd9 G D
Or the bus that carried us home
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9 Em
And all I need
D
Is a guiding light
[Refrão]Chorus
G
So hold up the fire
Say it out loud
D
For someone to hear you
Out of the crowd
Em
In these millions of people
Cadd9 D
Millions of dreams to come true
G
And you're stuck in the middle
Lost in the light
D
You feel that the flame is
Fading inside
Em
While somebody is dreaming
Cadd9 D
Dreaming of someone like you
Em
While somebody is dreaming
Cadd9 D
Dreaming of someone like you
Bridge
Cadd9
And maybe this time
Em
Things will turn out alright
D
And we'll put an end to the quest
Cadd9
And maybe some night
Em D
I see you stand out from the rest
[Refrão]Chorus
G
So hold up the fire
Say it out loud
D
For someone to hear you
Out of the crowd
Em
In these millions of people
Cadd9 D
Millions of dreams to come true
G
And you're stuck in the middle
Lost in the light
D
You feel that the flame is
Fading inside
Em
While somebody is dreaming
Cadd9 D
Dreaming of someone like you
Em
While somebody is dreaming
Cadd9 D G
Dreaming of someone like you
