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