The Beacon(Chords)

	        
(Intro) D  G  D  Em  D 

              D 
You say your time has come 
                 A 
You're tired of waking up 
             G                D 
Don't be obscene  I can't conceive of 
           A 
Living without you 

              D 
You say you drag me down 
               A 
No one should want you now 
                  G              D 
When I start to cry  you kiss my eyes and say 
           A 
I'm not allowed to 

 Em            A 
Burning beacon in the night 
       D                 G 
Can't feel its heat  or see its light 
      Em         A 
That single solitary guide 
    D                G 
it must get lonely there sometimes 

             D 
You were a child forgot 
            A 
Lessons of love untaught 
           G                 D 
Now no embrace can quite replace 
                    A 
The one that never found you 

              D 
I was raised tenderly 
              A 
All that was taught to me 
           G                 D 
I will apply  your parents tried 
                      A 
but they didn't know how to 

 Em            A 
Burning beacon in the night 
       D                 G 
Can't feel its heat  or see its light 
      Em         A 
That single solitary guide 
    D                G               D   G   D   G   D 
it must get lonely there sometimes 

         G           D 
Let me stand by you 
              G     D 
The honor is mine 
              G      D 
Let me stand by you 
           G                                 D     G   D   G 
Loneliest light  loneliest light  loneliest light 

 Em            A 
Burning beacon in the night 
       D                 G 
Can't feel its heat  or see its light 
      Em         A 
That single solitary guide 
    D                G              D 
it must get lonely there sometimes
