INTRO: F Gm F Gm
F Gm
You are needing a friend
F Gm
For to follow, for to fend
F Gm
And I haven't got a clue
F/C Bm7/5-
If I'm getting through to you
Bb7M
My lighthouse
F Gm
In the violent moonlight
F Gm
I am searching the tide
F Gm
In a vessel, in the storm
F/C Bm7/5-
And you're the kind host in the port
Bb7M
My lighthouse
F Gm
And we'll be there to right our wrongs
F Gm
In the time it took to write this song
F Gm
And we'll beat the ghost with our bare hands
F Gm
And we'll skin the corpse and we'll love and laugh
F Gm
And we'll dance all everlasting day
F Gm
And you'll sing to me everything I meant to say
F Gm
And we'll drink to the gentle, the meek and the kind
F E7
And the funny little flaws in this earthly design
Am Dm/A
From the Reeperbahn to the Sundarban
Am C
I will heed your call from the dust and sand
G Bm
And I'll save all my stories for thee
