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