[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
