[Verse]
Am      F                    G                  C          (G)
Shine a little light, help a stranger through another night
Am        F                   G                C            C
Give me a little hope, as I'm walking down the burning rope
Cm     Ab                  Bb                Eb       (Bb)
Tell a pretty lie, say the lust for life can never die
Cm    Ab                   Bb           Eb       Eb
Cry a little tear, give an empty soul a souvenir

[Chorus]
Ebm    Db/Eb                 Fm                       Cm
I have never cried with your fine young things in the summer night
Ebm    Db/Eb               Fm               Cm
I have never stayed, never seen love last another day
       Gm              Dm7        Eb              Bb
I have played rock'n'roll, I have rolled down the road
        Cm               Ab          D7sus  D7
Tell me lies now, I have had it with truth

[Verse]
Am       F                 G                    C      (G)
Truth is tragedy, speeding wheels and chords of misery
Am         F                  G                    C          C
Truth is another town, loving whispers when you're not around
Cm     Ab                   Bb                 Eb       (Bb)
Tell a pretty lie, say that player's heart can never die
Cm    Ab                   Bb           Eb       Eb
Cry a little tear, give an empty soul a souvenir

[Chorus]
