[Intro]
C#m   A E
C#m   A E
 
[Verse 1]
C#m
Tell me once again
A                  E              C#m
 I could have been anyone, anyone else
                     A            E
Before you made the choice for me
C#m
My feet knew the path
A                 E
 We walked in the dark, in the dark
  C#m
I never gave a single thought
         A             E
To where it might lead
 
C#m   A E
C#m   A E
 
[Verse 2]
C#m
All those empty rooms
A                   E                  C#m
 We could have been anywhere, anywhere else
                          A      E
Instead I made a bed with apathy
C#m
My heart knew the weight
A                   E
 Ten years worth of dust and neglect
   C#m
We made our peace with weariness
    A       E
And let it be
 
C#m   A E
C#m   A E
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C#m
The moon will sing a song for me
  B                  A
I loved you like the sun
C#m
Bore the shadows that you made
     B              A
With no light of my own
 
[Chorus]
C#m                                   A  E
I shine only with the light you gave me
C#m                                   A  E
I shine only with the light you gave me
 
C#m   A E
C#m   A E
 
[Verse 3]
C#m
Name your courage now
A                  E                  C#m
 We could have had anything, anything else
                                A         E
Instead you hoarded all that’s left of me
C#m
Swallowing your doubt
A                   E
 Like swords to the pit of my belly
  C#m                            A          E
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me
 
C#m   A E
C#m   A E
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C#m
The moon will sing a song for me
  B                  A
I loved you like the sun
C#m
Bore the shadows that you made
     B              A
With no light of my own
 
[Chorus]
C#m                                   A  E
I shine only with the light you gave me
C#m                                   A  E
I shine only with the light you gave me
 
C#m                                   A                    E
I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone)
C#m                                   A                    E
I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone)
