Verse 1:
N.C.    A                   D A
It was waiting there for me
 A              D A
Just like always
        A            D A
Face a city redeemed
     E         D            A
And sorrow to see it lost again

    A             D A
I stumbled around
           A            D A
I found a gutter or two
        A                 D A
In the dark there downtown
     E        D   E
It’s easy to do

Chorus:
             A                    D
But if you stand in the light no dark will dawn
     A                    D
No sword will shatter the armor that you put on
     A                         D
The rock underneath you won’t fall for lies
           A
With your feet firmly planted
         E       A
Standin’ in the light

Verse 2:
 A                      D A
Just this time once more
           A            D A
One of my favorite lines
         A          D A
And the pathway worn
          E    D        A
And the train right on time

         A               D A
I met a man on that train
             A              D A
Tappin’ his feet to the beat
        A                     D A
Steel wheels on crooked tracks
          E                 D   E
He said I once looked like you did

Chorus:
             A                    D
But if you stand in the light no dark will dawn
     A                    D
No sword will shatter the armor that you put on
     A                         D
The rock underneath you won’t fall for lies
           A
With your feet firmly planted
         E       A
Standin’ in the light

Verse 3:
    A            D A
We came to a halt
       A                D A
Under the station lights
      A                      D A
The platform shaking under me
  E            D      A
Stepped out into the night

         A            D A
With a thousand faces
           A              D A
And those restless idlers [ ]
             A             D A
Going their separate places
  E  D      E
Prospects brighter

Chorus:
             A                    D
But if you stand in the light no dark will dawn
     A                    D
No sword will shatter the armor that you put on
     A                         D
The rock underneath you won’t fall for lies
           A
With your feet firmly planted
         E       A
Standin’ in the light

Verse 4:
    A                   D A
I brought back some dust
       A                 D A
In my luggage so to speak
       A                   D A
And I could not wash it off
        E    D      A
With a rinse and repeat

       A               D A
So I stood in your eye
     A               D A
By which we see light
     A              D A
My two feet under me
        E     D     E
You’re right by my side

Chorus:
             A                    D
But if you stand in the light no dark will dawn
     A                    D
No sword will shatter the armor that you put on
     A                         D
The rock underneath you won’t fall for lies
           A
With your feet firmly planted
         E       A
Standin’ in the light

Outro:
             A                    D
But if you stand in the light no dark will dawn
     A                    D
No sword will shatter the armor that you put on
     A                         D
The rock underneath you won’t fall for lies
           A
With your feet firmly planted
         E       A
Standin’ in the light
           A
With your feet firmly planted
         E       A
Standin’ in the light
