Lyrics
When you (Eb)try your best but you (Ebmaj7)don’t suc ceed.
When you get what you want but not what you need.
When you feel so tired but (Ebmaj7)you can’t sleep.
Stuck in re (Eb)verse.
And the tears come a stream ing down your face
when you lose some thing you (Ebmaj7)can’t re place.
When you love (Eb)nev some one but it (Ebmaj7)goes to waste.
Could it be (Eb)worse?
Lights (Eb)will (Bbsus)guide
you home
and (Eb)ig (Bbsus)nite
your bones
and I (Eb)will (Bbsus)try
to fix you.
And high come a bove or down be low.
When you’re too in love to (Ebmaj7)let it go.
But if you (Eb)nev er try you’ll it (Ebmaj7)nev er know
just what you’re (Eb)worth.
Lights (Eb)will (Bbsus)guide
you home
and (Eb)ig (Bbsus)nite
your bones
and I (Eb)will (Bbsus)try
to fix you.
And high
Tears stream
down your face
when you lose some thing (Bbsus)you can not (Bb)re place.
Tears stream
down your face and (Eb)I...
Tears stream
down your face.
I prom ise you I will (Gm7)learn from my mis takes.
Tears stream
down your face and (Eb)I...
Lights (Eb)will (Bbsus)guide
you home
and (Eb)ig (Bbsus)nite
your bones
and I (Eb)will (Bbsus)try
to fix you.
Practice tip
