[Verse]
Em - G - D - D - I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves
Em - G - D - D - I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way
Em - G - D - D - I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past
Em - G - D - D - I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts

[Verse]
Em - G - D - D - I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea
Em - G - D - D - We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me
Em - G - D - D - And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light
Em - G - D - D - And they loved each other and with me watched the sunsets into night
[Chorus]
C - Bm - And the waves crashing around me,
Bb C D - the sand slips out to the sea
C - Bm - And the winds that blow remind me
Em F#m G A Of what has been, and what can never be

[Verse 2]
Em - G - D - D - She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return
Em - G - D - C - But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned
Em - G - D - D - He watched her ship fight but in vain against the wild and terrible wind
Em - G - D - D - In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end
[Chorus]
C - Bm - And the waves crashing around me,
Bb C D - the sand slips out to the sea
C - Bm - And the winds that blow remind me
Em F#m G A Of what has been, and what can never be
D - D - .. ..

[Verse]
Em - G - D - D - Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore
Em - G - D - D - He kissed her cold face that they'd be together soon he swore
Em - G - D - D - I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand
Em - G - D - D - And then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran
[Chorus]
C - Bm - And the waves crashing around me,
Bb C D - the sand slips out to the sea
C - Bm - And the winds that blow remind me
Em F#m G A Of what has been, and what can never be
D - D - .. ..
