Am
Well there ain't nobody safer than someone who doesn't care
Em Am
And it isn't even lonely when no one's ever there
Am Dm
I had a lot of dreams once but some of them came true
Em Am
The honey's sometimes bitter when fortune falls on you
Dm Em Am
So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night
Dm Em Am
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright
Dm Em Am
But here you're trembling like a sparrow I will try with all my might
Dm Em F
To give you just a little sweetness
Am
Just a little light
I have always heard that virtue ought be its own reward
But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword
It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way
You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away
Even though I been a stranger full of irony and spite
Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright
Something shines around you and it seems to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness
Just a little light
Bridge:
C G
This could be just another highway coiled up in the night
Dm Am
You could be just another white-tail baby stranded on my brights
G
There's a tingling recognition
D
Like the sound of distant thunder
C
And I begin to wonder
Am E
If the love I've driven under
F
Won't ignite
Am F

So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night

Something shines around you that seems to my delight

Just a little light
