Spotlight chords by The Waifs

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
Am      F           C
  Moon hangs in the night
G                    Am
  A spotlight on the world
F                 C            G   Am
  Rising the lands, moving the seas
      F                               C
And tonight from where I stand on this hill
G                 Am
  The spotlight's on me

Verse 2:
F     C            G
  I am young long ago
               Am
I know not a thing
                       F
Only that the sky is blue or sometimes grey
C                 G
  Flowers grow but they need rain
        Am                    F          C
And when you're a kid you play games all day
G                 Am
  Anywhere you can

Chorus 1:
F          C          G                     Am
  Spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
F  C       G                      Am
   I found you, I know where you are

Verse 3:
           F
Formative years come along
   C              G                 Am
Some take the lead and some fall behind
            F                 C
Confusion untold, life can be so dramatic
G                         Am
  But it was real at the time
              F                 C
Laughing with friends, crying alone
      G                        Am
Over false hearts and petty love

Verse 4:
         F                     C
We leave school to face the world
           G
That seems fun for a while
         Am                  F
But you tire of the same faces
       C           G       Am
And you dream of new places
         F                        C
It was a breath of aspiration when my sister said
G                     Am
  “Let’s get out of here”
                F            C
And we left our town, we travelled around
G                     Am
  And I went to find me

Chorus 2:
         F          C         G                     Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
         F          C         G                     Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are

Instrumental:

Verse 5:
      F                              C               G
Twentysomething and the fog has all but disappeared
Am               F                       C
  With each day passed I learn something more
               G                              Am
But always I’m thinking “Hell, I must know it all”
F          C           G                          Am
Love, death, a little pain have passed through these walls

Verse 6:
F   C   G            Am         F            C
          Situations still arise where I can see
            G                  Am
The way I behave, it’s unjustified
               F             C
These are the times I look inside
       G                    Am
And I see I’m a child after all

Chorus 3:
F          C         G                   Am
  Spotlight, I found you, I know who you are
F          C         G                   Am
  Spotlight, I found you, I know who you are
F          C         G                   Am
  Spotlight, I found you, I know who you are
         F          C         G                     Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
         F          C         G                     Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
         F          C         G                     Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are

Outro:
F  C  G  Am
F     C       G  Am
  I found you
F  C  G
Am      F           C
  Moon hangs in the night
G                    Am
