       D#
I get lost sometimes, like everybody else
      Cm
Lose track of my lifelines, lose track of myself
            G#
And there's all kinds of
                                D# A#
reasons to be scared and run away

It's a good time for sad times like
heaven couldn't be
Farther from the places, that heaven
always finds me
If nobody cares, tell me how is it
I keep getting saved this way

Chorus:
       G#
It's a sunrise from a lonely night
        Cm                    A#
Like a smile in a stranger's eyes
          G#
It's the moments that save my life
              Cm          A#
Nobody knows about, like flashlights
         G#
There's just enough hope when it shines
      Cm                   A#
To go one scared step at a time
         G#
When the world's too dark I'll find
       Cm     A#      D# Cm G#
Your flashlight,  yeah  ohohhh

I'm glad nobody's counting
And Lord, I'm glad you don't keep score
My prayers are all the same, as the ones
I prayed before
Thank you, but forgive me,
my rough around the edges heart is yours

And the moments where you swear,
I'm just screaming at the sky
It's the strangest conversation or
a friend just stopping by
And it's funny when I realize all
the places that your miracles can hide

Chorus

Like a sunrise from a lonely night
Like a smile in a stranger's eyes
It's the moments that save my life,
nobody knows about
Like flashlights
And there's just enough hope when it shines,
to go one scared step at a time
When the world's too dark I find, your flashlight

   Fm         Cm
Oh oh, who am I?
Fm
Dust and water
                 Cm  A#/D
Touched by the Divine

         Fm         Cm
Tell me who, who am I?
          Fm              G#
You keep shining on me, shining on me, yeah
  A#          G#
Shining on me

Chorus:
It's the moments that save my life
nobody knows about
It's like a flashlight
(there's just enough hope when it shines)
And it's just enough hope when it shines
(to go one scared step at a time)
to go one step at a time
(when the world's to dark I find your flashlight)
When the world's too dark I find your flashlight
It's a sunrise from a lonely night
It's a smile in a stranger's eyes
It's the moments that save my life
nobody knows about
Like flashlights
It's just enough hope when it shines,
to go one scared step at a time
When the world's too dark I find, your flashlight

(Like a sunrise from a lonely night
Like a smile in a strangers eyes) who am I
(it's the moments that save my life
nobody know about
Like flashlights) oh yeah
(it's just enough to hope when it shines
To go one scared step at a time
When the world too dark I find)
You keep shining your light,
you keep shining your light, eh eh

I'm just finding your flashlight
