F#m                     D
The cry of the city like a siren's song 
F#m                    D
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long 
F#m                     D
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky 
E
Must be someone's soul passing by 
 
F#m
These are the streets 
        D
Where we used to run where your Papa's from 
F#m
These are the days 
         D
Where you become what you become 
F#m
These are the streets 
         D
Where the story's told 
 
The truth unfolds 
    E
Darkness settles in     Oh-Oh 
 
    D            A   E      F#m
Shine your light down on me 
      D           A   E F#m
Lift me up so I can see 
    D            A   E          F#m
Shine your light when you're gone 
     D            A
Give me the strength 
        E     A       D ? A
To carry on, carry on 
 
F#m
Don't wanna be a hero 
           D
Just an everyday man 
F#m                    D
Trying to do the job the very best he can 
F#m                       D
But now it's like living on borrowed time 
  E
Out on the rim, over the line 
 
F#m                       D
Always tempting fate like a game of chance 
F#m                     D
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance 
F#m                  D
Sometimes I stumble and take a hard fall 
  E
Loose hold your grip off the wall 
 
 
    D            A   E      F#m
Shine your light down on me 
     D            A  E  F#m
Lift me up so I can see 
    D            A   E          F#m
Shine your light when you're gone 
     D            A      E
Give me the strength to carry on 
         D ? A
Carry on 
 
 
Bm                     E
I thought I saw him walking by the side of the road 
D                     A
Maybe trying to find his way home 
        Bm
He's here but not here     
        E
He's gone but not gone 
     D               E           E
Just hope he knows if I get lost 
 
     D           A   E      F#m
Shine your light down on me 
      D           A  E  F#m
Lift me up so I can see 
    D            A   E            F#m
Shine your light when you're gone 
     D           A       E
Give me the strength to carry on 
     A
Carry on
