Finally Saw the Light

Dm                             C
I guess I never really thought I’d settle down
Bb                         F
But I never really cared
Dm                    A
And if I always thought I’d be alone well
Bb                                  F
I could pretend I wasn’t scared
Bb                           F
And if you told me, it’s always never me
Bb                                       F
I always thought that I was right
Bb                                           F                      Eb       Dm 
If I never paid much mind of what was goin’ on outside
Dm                                 Eb
I guess I finally saw the light
Dm                               Bb
Yeah I finally saw the light
Dm                                 Eb
I guess I finally saw the light
Dm        Bb             F
And it’s shinin’ on me


I used to think it was the bad things that you do
That you pay for in the end
The more of that it is, the good you could have done
You did somethin’ else instead
And if you told me, “hey this is how it’s gonna end”
I’m sure I’d have been surprised
‘Cause I’ve seen lots of people look at me in lots of ways
But not with killin’ in their eyes
Not with killin’ in their eyes
Not with killin’ in their eyes
Like you’re lookin’ at me

Eb                      Bb                                  F                                          
Heaven let your light burn down on this lost and lonely boy
       Eb                Bb                         F                      Dm                      C
I’ve hit my field runnin’ good Lord I don’t want to run from you no more
Eb                       Bb                  F
I won’t ask forgiveness for the things that I have done
          Eb                           Bb                           F
I am a lost and lonesome stranger Lord have mercy
                 Dm                  G
Lord take mercy on your son
           Bb
If you hadn’t caught me here tonight
                       C                                                  Eb         G      F     
Would I have died in darkness dreamin’ of the light


So now you got me, but I got one last surprise
You’re gonna have to wait and see
A curse is born today among these pines
And it’s yours eternally
And you can see a light that’s shinin’ on my face and brother
I can see it too
But you think that it’s the light of man and by my soul I understand
It’s the light of heaven shinin’ through
The light of heaven shinin’ through
The light of heaven shinin’ through
And it’s shinin’ on me

(Repeat 1st verse)
