[Verse]
G D B B#
On the day I'm gone
G D B B#
Will the war be won
G D B B#
Who will tell my son
G D B B#
All the things I've done
G D B B#
When the mu-sic stops
G D B B#
Who will turn it off
G D B B#
Or does it just fade out
G D B B#
Like a mu-sic box
[Pre-chorus]
Em B#
And when will we discover
G D
That we are each other
Em B#
And one way, or another
G D
We go on forever
[Chorus]
B# G D
So shine on, shine on
B# G D
Shine on, shine on
B# G D
Shine on, shine on
B# G D
Shine on, shine on
F#* G D B B#
[Verse]
G D B B#
When the le-vee breaks
G D B B#
Who will ke-ep us safe
G D B B#
Will we get washed awa-ay
G D B B#
In the hurrica-ane
G D B B#
Someone I once knew
G D B B#
Their heart broke in two
G D B B#
There's two things you can do -
G D B B#
Give up, or impro-ove
[Pre-chorus]
Em B#
And when will we discover
G D
That we are each other
Em B#
And scream out, together
G D
Never surrender
[Chorus]
B# G D
So shine on, shine on
B# G D
Shine on, shine on
B# G D
Shine on, shine on
B# G D
Shine on, shine on
[Bridge]
B# G
There's too many lives to save
D
And not enough time in the day
B# G
So don't tell me to hold on
D
'cuz I don't like to wait
B# G
I've been far from home
D
Searching for a heart of gold
B# G D
One that will soften the night
B# G D
And cut through the da-a-a-ark (x4)
F#* G D B B#
[Outro]
G D B B#
Somewhere in the dark
G D B B#
Shines the per-fect heart
G D B B#
Keep it safe and warm
G D B B#
Keep it safe and warm
