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
