A D I was born when I met you C#m F#m now I'm dying to forget you Bm E A E and that is what I know A D Though I dreamed I would fall C#m F#m like a wounded cannonball Bm E A A7 sinking down with my heart in tow Chorus: F#m C#m Bright lights like white lightning D A Who shot me down D A Who cut me down F#m C#7 D A I'm frozen in my bed till the day comes around Bm E How I'm lost, how I'm found There's a man all alone Telling me his friends are gone That they've died and flown away So I told him he was wrong That your friends are never gone If you look to the sky and pray Chorus: Bright lights like white lightning Who shot me down Who will cut me down I'm frozen in my bed Till the day comes around How I'm lost, how I'm found Someone told me a lie Someone looked me in the eye And said time will ease your pain But behold, when you fall It's that same old cannonball Coming back for your heart again Chorus: Bright lights like white lightning Who shot me down Who will cut me down I'm frozen in my bed Till the day comes around And it may come around Until the day comes around How I'm lost, how I'm found I was born when I met you Now I'm dying to forget you And that is what I know You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A7  C#m  C#7  D  E  F#m  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
