Intro: Am - F - Am - F
Verse 1:
Am
Like ships bound for shipwreck
Most people just simply drift along
F
And miss their destination without knowing anything is wrong
Am
No direction and without a care
Feels so good and then you’re lost out there
F
Don’t you remember how it felt ‘til someone showed you the way
Pre-chorus:
Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Chorus:
C F
It’s up to you, it’s up to me
Am
To be the lighthouse
G
They should know they’re not alone
C F Am
So shine so they can see the lighthouse
G F
And find their way back home
Verse 2:
(Mute) Am
Tragically we’ve forgotten
The reason we’re even here at all
F
Worst still, we remember it’s just that we feel so comfortable
Am
Do we notice, do we even care
All the people that are lost out there
F
Don’t you remember how it felt ‘til someone showed you the way
Pre-chorus:
Am
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

So climb to the highest point
Scream in your loudest voice
