C      Em          Bb         F
Waking light, your profile in shadow
C         Em           Bb       F
Raise yourself, to the morning alone
Am       D     F           C
Night is gone, long way of turning
Bb            F              Am
You've waited long enough to know
 
[Hook]
Asus2           C
When the memory leaves you
Asus2                       C
Somewhere you can't make it home
D                         F
When the morning comes to meet you
C      Bb             Am
Lay me down in waking light
Asus2

---No one sees you here, roots are all covered
Em               Bb  F                Am
Such a length to go, How much can you show
        D         F            C
Day is gone, on a landslide of rhythm
Bb             F                  Am
I've seen your lamp light burning low
 
[Hook 2]

Somewhere you can't make it home

Rest your eyes in waking light

Super tab, thanks. One additional suggestion: if you want to add in those gorgeous held high "oohs" in the chorus, add a finger on the third fret of the top string for the (first two) C chords (so you're playing x32013 rather than the standard x32010) and the F (1x3213 - Fadd9, really). And on that second Asus2 (under "somewhere you can't make it") add a second-fret finger (making it x02202 - a strikingly beautiful Asus2add6, I guess).
