[Intro]
F#5     B5   A5   B5   F#5
 
[Verse 1]
F#5
Well here I am, back in town
F#5
Just as the night is comin' down
B5
Warm wind blowin' through the trees
  A5
I watch them swing, I watch them sway
B5               F#5
Lie here waiting for the day
 
[Verse 2]
F#5
Sleep won't come, I need a drink
F#5
Stop my head, don't wanna think
B5
Wishing I could be with you
    A5
But I know you're so far away
    B5                       F#5
And I'm here waiting for the day
 
[Bridge]
B                       A
Water of life pour your light down on me
        E                           B
Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea
B                      A
Water so sweet you can open my eyes
        E                           B             E B  N.C.
You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry
 
[Verse 3]
    F#5
Out on the street, shadows fall
F#5
Silence speaks, I hear it call
B5
City of the living dead
A5
Count the lights on the motorway
B5               F#5
Lie here waiting for the day (alright)
 
[Guitar Solo]
F#5     B5     A5   B5 F#5

B                       A
Water of life pour your light down on me
        E                           B
Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea
B                      A
Water so sweet you can open my eyes
        E                           B              E B
You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry
 
[Verse 4]

Yes here I am, back in town

Just as the night is comin' down

Warm wind blowin' through the trees

Lie here waiting for the day (alright)
