Intro:
C  - G/C  - C  - G/C 

Verse 1:
C
Lonestar
F5        C   G/C   C 
Where are you out tonight
     G7
This feeling
    E7        Am    G/Am   F#/Am
I'm trying to find
     G7         E7
It's dark and I think that
Am    G/Am   F#/Am 
I   would give anything
F          G             C5   G/C5   C5   G/C5
For you to shine down on me

Verse 2:
C5       G/C5   F5
How far,        you are
C5 G/C5       C5
I  just don't know
    G7
The distance
    E7          Am    G/Am   F#/Am
I'm willing to go
G7       E7
Pick up a stone
       Am    G/Am   F#/Am 
That I   cast to the sky
F              G            C5   G/C5   C5   G/C5
Hoping there's some kind of sign

(The guitar solo is just improvisation on the scale of the chord being played. If you know scales, it won't be hard to get the hang of)

Verse 1 (with vocal harmonies)

C5        G/C5
Lonestar
F5        C5  G/C5  C5
Where are you out tonight
     G7
This feeling
    E7        Am    G/Am   F#/Am
I'm trying to find
     G7         E7
It's dark and I think that
Am    G/Am   F#/Am
I   would give anything
F          G             Am    G/Am   F#/Am
For you to shine down on me
F          G             C
For you to shine down on me

End on a nice pretty C.
