[Verse 1]
Bm7/D Em7
Wake up, say a little prayer
Em F#7
Out of bed to the bathroom where
Edim7 Bm7/D
I take a look at myself and I stop and stare
Em7 Em
And I wonder who is this standing here
Bm F# E
And I try to find the will to carry on
Bm F# E
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
A Bm G A
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do
[Chorus]
D G
Hey, how are you true?
F# Bm A
The light will guide you home, yes it will
D G
Hey, how are you true?
F# Bm
Well there's one thing that you should know
A
Yes you should
Bm A E
You need love, you need love, you need love
Bm A E
You need la la la la la la la la love
[Verse 2]
Bm F#
All your days spend countin' numbers
E
'Til one day you'll find, day you'll find
F# Bm
That life has passed you by
Bm E
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
F# Bm A
Oh no so don't cry, oh no
[Chorus]
D G
Hey, how are you true?
F# Bm A
The light will guide you home, yes it will
D G
Oh the years, they turn so fast
F# Bm
Soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
A
Yes you will
[Verse 3]
Bm F# G F#
Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too
Bm F# G F#
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through
Bm F# G F#
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
Bm A E
Without love, without love, without love
Bm A E
Without la la la la la la la la love
[Bridge]
D G F# Bm A
Do, do, do, do, oh yeah
D G F# Bm A
Do, do, do, do, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Bm F# G F#
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
Bm F# G F#
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
Bm F#
I thought that you were joking
G F#
You were actually quite serious
