The Beacon

(intro) D  G  D  Em  D

              D
You say your time has come
                 A
You're tired of waking up
             G                D
Don't be obscene  I can't conceive of
           A
Living without you

              D
You say you drag me down
               A
No one should want you now
                  G              D
When I start to cry  you kiss my eyes and say
           A
I'm not allowed to

 Em            A
Burning beacon in the night
       D                 G
Can't feel its heat  or see its light
      Em         A
That single solitary guide
    D                G
it must get lonely there sometimes

             D
You were a child forgot
            A
Lessons of love untaught
           G                 D
Now no embrace can quite replace
                    A
The one that never found you

              D
I was raised tenderly
              A
All that was taught to me
           G                 D
I will apply  your parents tried
                      A
but they didn't know how to

 Em            A
Burning beacon in the night
       D                 G
Can't feel its heat  or see its light
      Em         A
That single solitary guide
    D                G               D   G   D   G   D
it must get lonely there sometimes

         G           D
Let me stand by you
              G     D
The honor is mine
              G      D
Let me stand by you
           G                                 D     G   D   G
Loneliest light  loneliest light  loneliest light

 Em            A
Burning beacon in the night
       D                 G
Can't feel its heat  or see its light
      Em         A
That single solitary guide
    D                G              D
it must get lonely there sometimes
