[Am] [G] [Am]
Well, there ain't nobody saving them when someone doesn't [B] care.
[Am] [Em] And it isn't even lonely [Am] when no one's ever there.
I had a lot of dreams once, but some of them [D] came true.
[Dm] [Em] But honey, sometimes it's bitter [Am] when fortune falls on you.
[Dm] So you know I've been a [Em] soldier in [Am] the armies of the night.
[Dm] And I'll find fatal [Em] error in [Am] what otherwise is alright.
[F] But if you're trembling like a [Em] sparrow, [Am] I will try with all my might
[F] to give you [G] just [F] a little sweetness, [E] just a little [Am] light.
[G] [Am] I have always heard that virtue ought to be its [C] own [Am] reward.
[Em] But it never comes [G] so easy [Am] when you're living by the sword.
It's even harder to be heartless [F] when you look at me [G] that [F] way.
[Em] Yours might be as the flower that [Am] will grow the stone away.
[A] [Dm] Even though I've been [Em] a stranger, [Am] full of irony and spite,
[Dm] holding little but [Em] contempt for [C] all things beautiful [Am] and bright.
[F] Something [Em] shines around you, [Am] and it seems to my delight
[F] to give me [G] just [F] a little sweetness, [Dm]
[Am] just a little light.
[C] You could be just another highway [G] coiled up in the night.
[Dm] You could be just another white-tailed [Am] baby stranded on my price.
[G] There's a tingling recognition [D] like the sound of fist thunder.
[C] And I begin to wonder [Am] if a love I've [E] driven under [F] won't decline.
[C] [Am]
[B] [Am]
[F] [C] [Am]
[Dm] So you know I've been [G] a soldier [Am] in the armies of the night.
[F] I've [Em] failed everything, [Am] what other wise, alright?
[D] But [F] something [Em] shines around [G] you, [Am] and it seems to my delight
[Dm] to give me [Em] [Am] just a little sweetness, [F] [Am] [G]
[F] [B] [Am] just a little light.
[Dm] To give [Em] me [F] just a little sweetness, [Am] just a little light.
[Dm] To give me, [Em] to give me [F] just a little sweetness, [Am] just a little light.
[Dm] Can't [Em] be just [F] a little sweet then, [E] just a [Am] little light
Well, there ain't nobody saving them when someone doesn't [B] care.
