Verse #1
___________________
     D             E*
If I ever feel the light again,
Em              Em
Shining down on me,
A               A
I don't have to tell you,
    G                D
How welcome it would be,
           E*
I felt the light before,
      Em              Em 
But I let it slip away,
    A                A
An' I just keep on believing,
     G                   D
That it'll come back someday.

Chorus: 99% sure this is the chorus...

             G
It's not the spotlight,
             D
It's not the candlelight,
            G
Its not the streetlight,
    A                  D
But some old street of dreams,
             G
It ain't the moonlight,
             D
Not even the sunlight,
         G               A
But I've seen it shining in your eyes,
    G        A      D
And you know what I mean.

Verse #2
___________________
Sometimes I try to tell myself,
The light was never real,
Just a fantasy that used to be,
The way I used to feel,
But you and I know better,
Even though it's been so long,
Now if your memory really serves you well,
You'll never tell me no wrong.

> Chorus

> Solo (well, almost): (Intro again)

Verse #3
__________________
So if I ever feel the light again,
Shining down on me,
I won't have tell you how,
Welcome it would be,
I felt the light before,
But I let it slip away,
I just live for believing,
That it'll come back someday,
