G          Em
I, I gotta new life,
           C           D                G
You would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad
             Em     C       D        G
How could a person like me care for you?
           Em         C             D        G
Why do I bother when you're not the one for me?
     Am     D
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Is enough enough?

Chorus:
G          Em         C             D
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes,
           G
I saw the sign
          Em       C             D
Life is demanding without understanding
G          Em         C             D
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes,
           G
I saw the sign
               Em                 C
No one's gonna drag you up to get into the
             D     C
light where you belong
      D
But where do you belong?

(Ah) Under the pale moon
For so many years, I've wondered who you are
How could a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon
Where I see a lot of stars
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is enough, enough?

Chorus

Oh, oh-oh
(Oh no)
(Oh no)
(Oh no)

Chorus:
I saw the sign
And it opened up my mind, and I am happy now
Living without you, I've left you, oh-oh-oh
I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong

(I saw the sign, I saw the si-i-ign) I saw the sign
(I saw the sign, I saw the si-i-i-ign)
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign) I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
