[VERSE 1]
B B C#
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
E F#
I was lost in the night with no sight of you and at
E F# B E F#
times it was so blue and lonely, heading for the light

[VERSE 2]
B B C#
Been close to the edge hanging by my fingernails
E F#
I rolled and I tumbled through the roses and the thorns
E F# B
and I couldn't see the sign that warned me, heading for the light

[CHORUS]
G#m F# E B (riff)
Oh, I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me

And when the rain came down, I was nearly drowned

[VERSE 3]
B C#
My shoes are burning out from walking down this same highway
E F#
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
E F# B E F#
And I get the strangest feeling as I'm heading for the light

[CHORUS]

I tried to tab this out to fit on two pages if printed with Windows' Notepad, as with
others I've done. Notice at the beginning of each [VERSE] there are two measures of B and
played. Also, at the end of the [CODA] I've compressed the last four measures but
still played in the same beat as all of the others in the song.
