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