[Intro]
Dm Bb C Gm
Dm Bb C Bb
Dm
[Verse]
Am
Walking down a lonely road
Bb
A ghost city sidewalk scene
C
And I wonder if there's a place
Bb
Where they bury all their unborn dreams - oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F Gm Am
Some castle in the sky
Bb Dm
A place that only I can back down to
C Bb
And look out for that shining guide ablaze out somewhere
[Chorus 1]
Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain
Bb
That's gonna shine away the pain
C
Gonna draw the moonlight down
Bb
All is gonna tumble down
Dm
Are you gonna guide me starlight
Bb
Guide me starlight
C
Won't you send me a sign?
Dm
[Verse 2]
Am
You're adrift until you strand
Bb
Desert island of mundanity
C
You circle round your solitude
Bb
Within the walls they call austerity
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F Gm Am
I know maybe it's insane
Bb Dm
To dream of what you'll never gain
C Bb
Nothing on the line, driven by unsettled certainty
[Chorus 2]
Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain
Bb
That's gonna shine away the pain
C
Gonna cite a figment down
Bb
Yet I'm gonna stick around
Dm
Are you gonna guide me starlight
Bb
Guide me starlight
C Gm
Are you out there, anywhere, at all?
Bb
Anywhere at all
[Bridge]
Gm Dm
If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground
F
Just like you before they're near me
C
Run out in the clouds forever near me
Bb Dm C
I won't even be a foolish memory
Am
Waiting for a sign in vain
F
Orphan star...
G
Shine on me!
[Chorus 3]
Cm
Waiting for a sign in vain
Ab
Gonna shine away the pain
Bb
Gonna draw the moonlight down
Ab
All is gonna tumble down
Cm
Are you gonna hear me starlight
Ab
Hear me starlight
Bb Fm
Are you out there anywhere at all
[Chorus 1]
Dm
Waiting for a sign in vain
Bb
That's gonna shine away the pain
C
Gonna draw the moonlight down
Bb
All is gonna tumble down
Dm
Are you gonna guide me starlight
Bb
Guide me starlight
C Gm Dm
Are you out there
