Intro: C5  C5

C5                  C5
This city doesn't sleep at night
   C5               C5
At ten o'clock it comes alive
        F5           G5                C5
There's 20 million people, then there's me

  C5           C5
A taxi driver every day
 C5               C5
A lot of work, a little pay
      F5            G5                 C5
Just looking for a way to find some peace

    F5       G5
But finding peace
    G5      C5  F5
Is way too hard
            F5  C5  D5 C5   G5
When you're looking in the dark

    A5     C5              F5
So shine, shine, shine on us
   A5       C5          F5
Oh God, we need your love
       D5             A5     G5
These streets aren't bright enough

Oh jesus, shine on us

     C5               C5
I'm sitting on this corner here
    C5                C5
My dignity just disappears
      F5         G5               C5
With every coin I beg into this cup

   C5                C5
No matter how much people pay
   C5              C5
It doesn't matter anyway
    F5        G5            C5
It never ever seems to be enough

     F5       G5
The light inside
    G5      C5  F5
My heavy heart
    F5  C5  D5  C5   G5
Is getting way too dark

    A5     C5              F5
So shine, shine, shine on us
   A5       C5          F5
Oh God, we need your love
       D5             A5     G5
These streets aren't bright enough

Oh jesus, shine on us

A5
God above is full of mercy
E5
Turning darkness into dawn
F5
All you who are weak and weary
A5                   G5
Lift your heads and sing this song

    A5     C5              F5
So shine, shine, shine on us
   A5       C5          F5
Oh God, we need your love
       D5             A5     G5
These streets aren't bright enough

Oh jesus, shine on us
 A5     C5              F5
So shine, shine, shine on us
   A5       C5          F5
Oh God, we need your love
       D5             A5     G5
These streets aren't bright enough

Oh jesus, shine on us
