Intro: E F# G#m
E
You've got a face not spoiled by beauty
F# G#m
I have some scars from where I've been
E
You've got eyes that can see right through me
F# G#m
You're not afraid of anything they've seen
E
I was told that I would feel
F# G#m
Nothing the first time
E
I don't know how these cuts heal
F# G#m
But in you, I've found a right
E
If there is a light
B
You can always see
F#
And there is a world
G#m
We can always be
E
If there is a dark
B
Within and without
F#
And there is a light
G#m
Don't let it go out
E B
And this is a song
F# G#m
A song for someone
E B
This is a song
F# G#m
A song for someone
E
You let me into a conversation
F# G#m
A conversation only we could make
E
You're breaking into my imagination
F# G#m
Whatever's in there is yours to take
E B
I was told that I would feel
F# G#m
Nothing the first time
E B
You were so long to heal
F# G#m
But this could be the night
E
If there is a light
B
You can always see
F#
And there is a world
G#m
We can always be
E
If there is a dark
B
Within and without
F#
And there is a light
G#m
Don't let it go out
E B
And this is a song
F# G#m
A song for someone
E B
This is a song
F# G#m
This is song for someone
Solo: E B G#m C#
E B F# G#m
And I'm a long way
From your hill on Calvary
And I'm a long way
From where I was, where I need to be
If there is a light you can always see
And there is a world we can always be
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
And there is a light, don't let it go out
