A            G               D
You made me love you, now I can't say goodbye
A            G                 D
You're way above me, but I'll never know why
     A                     G
When I turn left and then you turn right
         D
And you say you're right, and you're wrong
                A
I know you're wrong

Chorus:
G      D       A
Oh, I saw the light in you
G             D        A
There wasn't much that I could do
G      D       A
Oh, I saw the light in you
G  D       A
I saw the light

You made me like you, and now like you I am
I try to stay me, but I don't know if I can
Oh, when I say it's black and you say it's white
And I say it's black and you're wrong
I know you're wrong

Chorus:
'Cos I saw the light in you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light

D
Standing on the platform watching
all the trains go past
A
Keep on trying to catch one but you
know they're much too fast
D
I never seem to make it but I know the reason why
   E                                       D
I need to, need to, need to, need to get away

You made me love you, now I can't say goodbye
You're way above me but I'll never know why
Oh, when I say it's black and you say it's white
And I say it's right and you're wrong
I know you're wrong

Chorus:
Oh, I saw the light in you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light
Oh, I saw the light with you
There wasn't much that I could do
Oh, I saw the light in you
I saw the light
Oh, I saw the light in you...
