[Verse 1]
I am a [Em]lighthouse
[G]worn by the weather and [D]the waves
I keep [Em]my lamp lit,
to [G]warn the sailors on [D]their way
I'll tell a [Em]story,
[G]paint you a picture from [D]my past
I was [Em]so happy,
but [G]joy in this life sel[D]dom lasts

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 2]
I had a [Em]keeper
[G]he helped me warn the ships [D]at sea
We had [Em]grown closer,
[G]'till his joy meant everything [D]to me
And he was to [Em]marry,
a [G]girl who shone with beauty [D]and light
And they loved [Em]each other,
And [G]with me watched the sunsets
[D]into night

[Chorus 1]
And the [C]waves crashing a[Bm]round me,
the [Bb]sand slips [C]out [D]to sea
And the [C]winds that blow re[Bm]mind me,
Of what has [Em]been,[F#m]
[G]and what can nev[A]er be[D]

[Verse 3]
She'd had to [Em]leave us,
my [G]keeper he prayed for a safe [D]return
But when the [Em]night came,
the [G]weather to a raging storm [D]had turned
[C]He watched her[Em] ship fight,
but in [G]vain against the wild and terri[D]ble wind
In me [Em]so helpless,
as [G]dashed against the rock she met [D]her end

[Chorus 2]
And the [C]waves crashing a[Bm]round me,
the [Bb]sand slips [C]out [D]to sea
And the [C]winds that blow re[Bm]mind me,
Of what has [Em]been,[F#m]
[G]and what can nev[A]er be[D]

[Bridge 1]
Then on the [Em]next day,
my [G]keeper found her washed up on [D]the shore
He kissed [Em]her cold face,
[G]that they'd be together soon
[D]he swore
I saw [Em]him crying,
[G]watched as he buried her in [D]the sand
And then he climbed [Em]my tower,
and [G]off of the edge of me [D]he ran

[Chorus 3]
And the [C]waves crashing a[Bm]round me,
the [Bb]sand slips [C]out [D]to sea
And the [C]winds that blow re[Bm]mind me,
Of what has [Em]been,[F#m]
[G]and can nev[A]er be[D]

[Outro 1]
I am a [Em]lighthouse
[G]worn by the weather and [D]the waves
And though [Em]I'm empty,
I [G]still warn the sailors on [D]their way
