F#m
I sit and wonder, I often wonder
I sit and wonder about the things she does
I sit and wonder, I often wonder
I've been waiting for this moment to come

And she's the teacher and I'm the pupil
But I ain't learning anything at all
Now I'm falling into the black hole
And I can barely feel the sun

Yeah I sit and wonder, I fall to pieces
I've been waiting for her to come
A bed of roses, her cheeks like peaches
Yeah I ain't going to wait no more

Chorus:
                   Bm
Lord, give me some light
                F#m
Oh, give me the light
                   Bm
Yeah, give me some light
                 F#m
And give me some light

The rites a passage, we are mistaken
Yeah some are going to break into stone
The door is open and I am reaching
Yeah it looks like a prodigal son

Chorus:
Yeah give me some light
Give me the light
Yeah give me some light
Give me some light
God give me the light
Give me the light
Yeah give me some light
Give me some light

Bm                                         F#m
I've been having trouble in my head, Lord (oh,
oh, oh, oh)
Bm                                        F#m
I've been having demons in my mind, Lord (oh,
oh, oh, oh)

                   Bm
Lord, give me some light
                F#m
Oh, give me the light
                   Bm
Yeah, give me some light
                 F#m
And give me some light

I've been having trouble in my head, Lord
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
I've been having demons in my mind, Lord
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Something's going on inside my head, Lord
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
Something's going on inside my head, Lord
(oh, oh, oh, oh)

I could be searching all my life
Searching all my life
Keep that candle on at night, candle on at night
Keep that candle on at night, candle on at night
I could be hurting all the while,
hurting all the while
Lord, give me the light
