[Intro]
G Cadd2/G C/G

[Verse 1]
G         Gsus4    C        G/B
 The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them
Am        C       Am        D
 And all the dreams I had the night before came back
G       Gsus4     C    G/B
 The faces that I`d seen looked so familiar
Am          C      Am        D  D#dim
 But they`re just strangers - I haven`t met them yet

[Pre-Chorus 1]
       Em     C       G    D#dim
 I know the morning is wiser than the evening
       Em          C         G  Gmaj7/F# Em D#dim
 I know that wrong and right can sometimes look the same
      Em     C        G
 So many things I know, but they don`t help me
Am      C     Am        D
 Each day I open up my eyes and start again

[Chorus 1]
G          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes

[Verse 2]
G      Gsus4 C      G/B
 So many stories, I want to tell you
Am      C           Am        D
 I wish that I could show you the many things I`ve seen
G        Gsus4 C          G/B
 You and your daddy, you both look like poets
Am       C        Am       D  D#dim
 Your eyes are open wide while you are in a dream

[PreChorus 2]
       Em     C       G    D#dim
 I know the morning is wiser than the night time
         Em        C        G  Gmaj7/F# Em D#dim
 I know there`s nothing wrong, I shouldn`t feel so down
      Em     C        G
 So many things I know, but they don`t help me
Am      C     Am        D
 Each day I open up my eyes to look around

[Chorus 2]
G          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C
 The light comes shining in

[Bridge]
   G  Gmaj7/F# Em  Em7/D
 My eyes are   closed now
Cadd9     G/B  Am    D
 Count the stars inside your mind
  G     Gmaj7/F# Em  Em7/D
 Count the breaths,  count heartbeats
Cadd9    G/B  Am    D  D
 Count the sounds of life

[Verse 3]
G      Gsus4       C        G/B
 The light was shining in my eyes before I closed them
Am       C         Am        D
 And all the dreams I had the night before were gone
G       Gsus4       C   G/B
 The faces that I`d seen looked so familiar
Am     C       Am      D  D#dim
 But I forgot them all when I saw the sun

[PreChorus 3]
       Em     C       G   Gmaj7/F# Em
 I know the morning is wiser than the evening
       C              D
 I know that all of life just happens in between
G      Gsus4    C        G/B
 So many things I know, but they don`t help me
Am      C     Am        D
 Each day I open up my eyes and it begins

[Chorus 1]
G          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes
          C      G
 The light comes shining in my eyes

[Outro]
G     C G    C G    C G    C
 The light, the light, the light, the light
G     C G    C G
 The light, the light, the light
