On your own, are you dreaming so alone?
         A              D
Shine a light, shine a light

You say you want somebody who can hear you scream
Heal your heart and baby, dream, dream, dream
You're dancing with the Devil with your heart
like stone
Together, you're not gone, you're not gone,
no, you're not gone, you're not
