F#m                         D 
The cry of the city like a siren's song 
F#m                        D 
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long 
F#m                            D 
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky 
E 
Must be someone's soul passing by 
 

F#m 
These are the streets 
            D 
Where we used to run where your Papa's from 
F#m 
These are the days 
               D 
Where you become what you become 
F#m 
These are the streets 
            D             
Where the story's told 
 
The truth unfolds 
       E 
Darkness settles in      Oh-Oh 
 

        D            A       E               F#m 
Shine your light down on me 
        D                A      E      F#m 
Lift me up so I can see 
        D            A      E            F#m 
Shine your light when you're gone 
        D                 A 
Give me the strength 
          E           A            D ? A  
To carry on, carry on 
 

F#m       
Don't wanna be a hero 
                D 
Just an everyday man 
F#m                          D 
Trying to do the job the very best he can 
F#m                           D 
But now it's like living on borrowed time 
     E 
Out on the rim , over the line 
 

F#m                              D 
Always tempting fate like a game of chance 
F#m                             D 
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance 
F#m                          D 
Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall 
     E 
Loose hold your grip off the wall 
 
 
       D            A       E              F#m 
Shine your light down on me 
       D                A  E           F#m 
Lift me up so I can see 
        D            A      E            F#m 
Shine your light when you're gone 
        D                A            E 
Give me the strength to carry on 
                       D ? A 
Carry on 
 
 
Bm                           E 
I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road 
D                        A 
Maybe trying to find his way home 
           Bm 
He's here but not here     
            E 
He's gone but not gone 
        D                   E            E 
Just hope he knows if I get lost 
 

         D            A       E              F#m 
Shine your light down on me 
        D                A  E           F#m 
Lift me up so I can see 
        D            A      E                    F#m 
Shine your light when you're gone 
         D              A            E 
Give me the strength to carry on 
      A 
Carry on
