F#5                         D5 
The cry of the city like a siren's song 
F#5                        D5 
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long 
F#5                            D5 
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky 
E5 
Must be someone's soul passing by 
 

F#5 
These are the streets 
            D5 
Where we used to run where your Papa's from 
F#5 
These are the days 
               D5 
Where you become what you become 
F#5 
These are the streets 
            D5             
Where the story's told 
 
The truth unfolds 
       E5 
Darkness settles in      Oh-Oh 
 

        D5            A5       E5               F#5 
Shine your light down on me 
        D5                A5      E5      F#5 
Lift me up so I can see 
        D5            A5      E5            F#5 
Shine your light when you're gone 
        D5                 A5 
Give me the strength 
          E5           A5            D5 ? A5  
To carry on, carry on 
 

F#5       
Don't wanna be a hero 
                D5 
Just an everyday man 
F#5                          D5 
Trying to do the job the very best he can 
F#5                           D5 
But now it's like living on borrowed time 
     E5 
Out on the rim , over the line 
 

F#5                              D5 
Always tempting fate like a game of chance 
F#5                             D5 
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance 
F#5                          D5 
Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall 
     E5 
Loose hold your grip off the wall 
 
 
       D5            A5       E5              F#5 
Shine your light down on me 
       D5                A5  E5           F#5 
Lift me up so I can see 
        D5            A5      E5            F#5 
Shine your light when you're gone 
        D5                A5            E5 
Give me the strength to carry on 
                       D5 ? A5 
Carry on 
 
 
B5                           E5 
I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road 
D5                        A5 
Maybe trying to find his way home 
           B5 
He's here but not here     
            E5 
He's gone but not gone 
        D5                   E5            E5 
Just hope he knows if I get lost 
 

         D5            A5       E5              F#5 
Shine your light down on me 
        D5                A5  E5           F#5 
Lift me up so I can see 
        D5            A5      E5                    F#5 
Shine your light when you're gone 
         D5              A5            E5 
Give me the strength to carry on 
      A5 
Carry on
