Cheryl Wheeler - Beyond The Lights Chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: F   Dm   Am   Bb   

F                       Dm                 Bb
Thought you'd bide your time and play your part
             F     C
But you were wrong dear
F                  Dm               Bb
Somewhere down the line your lonely heart
            F    C     Am
Could not belong here
            Dm               Bb
And in some frame of reason
           F C
Beyond our vision
F                  Dm       C     Bb
Your love lagged behind and fell apart
          Dm7  C  F
Without a soul to hear


                Dm                   Bb
On a night like this the stars don't shine
               F   C
And there's no moonlight
F                Dm                 Bb
We're like you I guess, we bide our time
                F     C     Am
Try to play our parts right
           Dm                 Bb
And wonder where you gathered
           F  C   F
Your angry sorrow
                    Dm       C        Bb
Through the rolling mist the scenes unwind
             Dm7   C  F         Dm
They seem so clear to-night


BRIDGE:
          Bb            F      C
And in my sleep you are crying still
    Bb                 F               C      Dm
The way you touch your brow, hang your head
        Bb         F     C
I never knew and I never will
    Bb              F      A                  Bb
The voices haunting you, a thing that I could do


INSTRUMENTAL: Am  Dm  Bb  Dm C Am  Dm  Bb  Dm C   F


                  Dm                  Bb
Were they in your stars, those lonely nights
          F C
Tormented hours?
F                      Dm                     Bb
Something snapped your spars and slacked your lines
              F  C    Am
And took your powers
           Dm               Bb
Did no one see you sinking
                F C    F
'Til you'd gone under?
                     Dm    C        Bb
While you slipped so far beyond the lights
             Dm7  C   F    
Were we just watching ours?


OUTRO: Dm  Bb  Dm  C  F  (3x)
