C#m B A
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
C#m B A
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love's like a secret that's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love, I know it's not cheap
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
E B C#m A (twice)
Ooooh, ultraviolet...
C#m B E A
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
I remember when we could sleep on stones
But now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up, and I heard opera in my head
Your love was a lightbulb hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ooooh, ultraviolet...
G#m A E B
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
C#m B E
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
