Standard (EADGBE)

Shine like an arclight Sing like a bird might sing

When he was higher than heaven Higher than every other thing

Some kind of arclight Sparks in the street

Well I know that you've no answers All I need is for you to shine

Shine like an arclight Like I want you to shine

Oh I know that you've nobody And I know that you're not mine

But the light that you are And the light you can be

Is the only thing I want The only light I can see

You don't have to know the words And you don't have to know the rules

Chorus

You just shine in the morning like the sun Burn like a candle in the night

Shine like a book that's never been read Burn like a saint who knows he's right

Shine like a shard of glass On the forest ground

When you shine you know You burn me down

Well I don't wear no chains I've got no cross to bear

And I'm as free as the whale I'm as free as the air

I'm as free as the old I'm as cold as the dawn

And I'm as lost as you are you are my only law

You don't have to know the words

And you don't have to know the rules

And you never had to speak, never had to speak oh no, oh no, oh no

And you never had to speak, never had to speak oh no, oh no, oh no

Chorus

Down, down, down You burn me down Down, down, down

Down, down, down You burn me down Down, down, down

Down, down, down You burn me down Down, down, down

Down, down, down You burn me down Down, down, down
