Tuning: C#m, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Tell me once a
gain
I could have
been anyone, a
nyone else
Before you mad
e the choice f
or me
My feet knew t
he path
We walked in
the dark, in t
he dark
I never gave a
single though
t
To where it mi
ght lead
[Verse 2]
All those empt
y rooms
We could have
been anywhere
, anywhere els
e
Instead I made
a bed with ap
athy
My heart knew
the weight
Ten years wor
th of dust and
neglect
We made our pe
ace with weari
ness
And let it be
[Pre-Chorus]
The moon will
sing a song fo
r me
I loved you li
ke the sun
Bore the shado
ws that you ma
de
With no light
of my own
[Chorus]
I shine only w
ith the light
you gave me
I shine only w
ith the light
you gave me
[Verse 3]
Name your cour
age now
We could have
had anything,
anything else
Instead you ho
arded all that
’s left of me
Swallowing you
r doubt
Like swords t
o the pit of m
y belly
I want to feel
the fire that
you kept from
me
[Pre-Chorus]
The moon will
sing a song fo
r me
I loved you li
ke the sun
Bore the shado
ws that you ma
de
With no light
of my own
[Chorus]
I shine only w
ith the light
you gave me
I shine only w
ith the light
you gave me
I shine only w
ith the light
you gave me (I
could have be
en anyone, any
one)
I shine only w
ith the light
you gave me (I
could have be
en anyone, any
one)
