Em
[Verse]
Bm
Walking down a lonely road
C
B ghost city sidewalk scene
D
And I wonder if there's a place
C
Where they bury all their unborn dreams - oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Am Bm
Some castle in the sky
C Em
B place that only I can back down to
D C
And look out for that shining guide ablaze out somewhere
[Chorus 1]
Em
Waiting for a sign in vain
C
That's gonna shine away the pain
D
Gonna draw the moonlight down
C
All is gonna tumble down
Em
Are you gonna guide me starlight
C
Guide me starlight
D
Won't you send me a sign?
Em
[Verse 2]
Bm
You're adrift until you strand
C
Desert island of mundanity
D
You circle round your solitude
C
Within the walls they call austerity
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Am Bm
I know maybe it's insane
C Em
To dream of what you'll never gain
D C
Nothing on the line, driven by unsettled certainty
[Chorus 2]
Em
Waiting for a sign in vain
C
That's gonna shine away the pain
D
Gonna cite a figment down
C
Yet I'm gonna stick around
Em
Are you gonna guide me starlight
C
Guide me starlight
D Am
Are you out there, anywhere, at all?
C
Anywhere at all
[Bridge]
Am Em
If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground
G
Just like you before they're near me
D
Run out in the clouds forever near me
C Em D
I won't even be a foolish memory
Bm
Waiting for a sign in vain
G
Orphan star...
A
Shine on me!
[Chorus 3]
Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain
A#
Gonna shine away the pain
C
Gonna draw the moonlight down
A#
All is gonna tumble down
Dm
Are you gonna hear me starlight
A#
Hear me starlight
C Gm
Are you out there anywhere at all
[Chorus 1]
Em
Waiting for a sign in vain
C
That's gonna shine away the pain
D
Gonna draw the moonlight down
C
All is gonna tumble down
Em
Are you gonna guide me starlight
C
Guide me starlight
D Am Em
Are you out there
