	Em	G	D
I am a	Lighthouse,	Worn by the weather and the	waves.

	Em	G	D
I keep my	lamp lit, to	warn the sailors on their	way.

I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.

I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.

I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.

We had grown closer, 'til his joy meant everything to me.

He was to marry a girl who shown with beauty and light.

They loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into nights.

Chorus:

	C	Bm	Bb	C	D
And the	waves crashing a	round me, The	sand slips	out to	sea,

	C	Bm	Em	F#m	G
And the	winds that blow re	mind me of what has	been	,

	A	D
and what can	never	be.

Verse:

She'd had to leave us; my keeper, he prayed for a safe return,

But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.

He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind,

And me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her end.

Verse:

Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore.

He kissed her cold face, and that they'd be together soon he swore.

I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand,

Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran.

Verse:

I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves,

And though I'm empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.
