Toda la canción sigue una progresión de acórdes, la cual es en cada estrofa:

C - Em - Am - C - F - Am - Dm - G

Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you baby
can't you see
You're the only one who can shine for me

En el CORO cambia a otra progresión, que si bien no es igual, posee los mismos acordes:

        Am          E       G                  D
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
       F               C
And a silence falls between us
       F                 G
As the shadows steal the light
        Am            E
And wherever you may find it
    G            D
Wherever it may lead
        F          G           C      C/B
Let your private emotion come to me
         C      C/B
Come to me


C - Em - Am - C - F - Am - Dm - G

When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as a one way street
Well it runs both ways,
open up your eyes
Can't you see me here
how can you deny

CORO

C - Em - Am - C - F - Am - Dm - G

Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry

       Am        E           G           D
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
       F               C
And a silence falls between us
          F               G
As the shadows steal the light
       Am             E
And wherever you may find it
    G            D
Wherever it may lead
          F        G           C      C/B
Let your private emotion come to me
          F        G           C
Let your private emotion come to me
