The Waifs - Spotlight chords
Start Jamming...
[A] [F] Moon hangs [C] in the night, [B]
[Em] a spotlight [A] on the world
[B] [E]
[F] [C] Lighting the lands, [Bm] moving the seas
[Am]
And [F] tonight from where I [C] stand on this hill, [Bm] the [A] spotlight's on [E] me
[F] [C] I am young, [Bm] long ago, [G] I know not [A] a thing
Only that the [F] sky is blue, and sometimes [C] grey
Flowers grow [Em] but they need rain
[A] And when you're a kid you [F] play [C] games all day
And [Bm]
it [G] will be [Am] late
[E] [F]
[G] [C] Spotlight, I [Bm] found you, [G] I [A] know where you are
[D] [F]
[C] [G] I found [Em] you, I know [Am] where you are
[D] Formative [F] years come along, [C] some take the lead
[G] And some fall [A] behind, [D] confusion [F] untold
[G] Life can [C] be so dramatic, [G] but it was real [A] at the time
Laughing [F] with friends, [D] [C] crying alone
[Bm] Over [G] false hearts and petty [Am] love
We [F] leave school [B] to [C] face the world
That [Em] seems fun [G] for a while, [A] but you're tired of the same [F] faces
[C] And you dream [Em] of new places
[Am] It [F] was a breath of aspiration [C] when my sister [Em] said
Let's get out [Am] of here
We left [F] our town, we [C] traveled [Em] around
And I went to [A] find me
[F#]
[F] Spotlight, spotlight, [C] I [G] found you, I know [Am] where you are
[F] Spotlight, [C] spotlight, I [Bm] found you, [G] I know where [Am] you are
[D]
[F] [C]
[Em] [A]
[F] [C]
[Em] [Am] Twenty [F]-something and the [C] fog has all but disappeared
[G] And [Am] with each [F] day passed, I learned [C] something more
And [G] always I'm thinking, hell, I [A] must know it [D] [Am] all
[F]
[C] Death, [G] a little pain, I've passed [A] through these walls
[B] [G] A [F] [C] [Em]
[G] situation [A] that's still a ride
[D]
[F] Where I [C] can see the way I [G] behave
It's [A] unjustified, these [F] are the [C] times
I look inside and I see
[G] I'm a child [A] after [D] all
[Am]
[F] [C] Spotlight, spotlight, I found [G] you, I know who [A] you are
[D]
[C] [F] [G] [C] Spotlight, spotlight, I [Em] found you, [C] I [G] know who [A] you are
[Am] [F] [A] [C] Spotlight, spotlight, I [Em] found you, I know who [Am] you are
[F] Spotlight, [D] [C] spotlight, I [G] found you, I know [Am] where you are
[F] Spotlight, [C] spotlight, I [Em] found you, I know [Am] where you
[F] [C]
[G] [Am] [D]
[F] are
[C]
[Em] [A] [D]
[F] [C]
[Em] [Am] [D] [Am]
[F] [C] [Em]
[Am]
[F] Moon hangs in the [C] night, [B] [G] the spotlight on the world
