[Intro]  F#m  D  A  E

F#m             D                    A                 E
Deep in your heart there was once a diamond shining bright
F#m          D              A               E
Every dark place you passed by turned into light
         F#m          D                E               F#m
But somebody broke into your heart and blew out your lights
         E                                        A
And your sparkling little diamond turned pale overnight

         F#m            D                 A                  E
What the hell has become of that pretty girl so sweet and nice
            F#m            D        A            E
Where have remaind your insatiable thirst after life
          F#m              D            E           F#m
Girl what ever they have done to you, where ever you are
      E                                               A
No ever so big force on earth   could kill a burning hearts

F#m        D
Shine on, shine on
A                E
Don't let the bastards drag you down
F#m       D           A             E
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
F#m           D         E          F#m
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burning
F#m             D         E
Shine on, shine on, shine on

      F#m                 D                  A               E
Your train ran off the rails, hey girl you didn't lay the tracks
           F#m              D              A                   E
If you wanna reach for the sky you have to go through hell and back
F#m        D               E                 F#m
  Don't deliver girl, let me take you by the hand
        E                                                 A
At the end of the rainbow          the way of cross still ends

F#m        D
Shine on, shine on
A                E
Don't let the bastards drag you down
F#m       D           A             E
Shine on, like a torch burns in a storm
F#m           D         E             F#m
Shine on and on, and keep the fire burnings
F#m             D         E
Shine on, shine on, shine on
