1 Verse:
               D
I’ve got some tired eyes, living by night
             G                         Hm
Nothing but dark signs, why do I try?
                G
Why do I even try?
                D
I’ll say: "I’m alright", but that’s half a lie
              G                                Hm
They say the future’s bright, so hang on tight
                                   
They say just hang on tight
 
Chorus:
D
   My eyes searching for what is not seen
Hm
   My mind wants to know what it all means
A
   I’ve been looking for light
G
   Maybe it’s not by sight
D
   Oh, God, you are what I’m waiting for
Hm
   Nothing else matters to me anymore
A
   I’ve been looking for light
G
   Maybe it’s not by sight
 
2 Verse:
            D
Walking on thin ice, thinking it’s safe
            G                       Hm
I tried to make my epiphany change
                         G
Don’t let me lose my way
           D
Is this a trust fall or a fall on my face?
            G                           Hm
Is this a blindfold or a blinding ray?
                                   
Show me you’re here to stay
 
Chorus:
D
   My eyes searching for what is not seen
Hm
   My mind wants to know what it all means
A
   I’ve been looking for light
G
   Maybe it’s not by sight
D
   Oh, God, you are what I’m waiting for
Hm
   Nothing else matters to me anymore
A
   I’ve been looking for light
G
   Maybe it’s not by sight
