Keep Looking For The Light

Lyrics and Chords

G#           Bbmin7

2am Friday night

G#                                                                 D7sus4

I can hear the people downstairs making love

G#                                                               Bbmin7

And as I look out of my window across the city

G#                                                                 D7sus4

I wonder what she’s doing, who she’s thinking of

Fmin                                F# maj7

Though it seems time can’t break the spell

Fmin           F# maj7       D7sus4

I’ve got to tell myself

G#                                 Bbmin7

To keep looking for the light

G#                                 D7sus4

Keep looking for the light

G#                                 Bbmin7

I have tasted glory

G#                                 D7sus4

Ineffable; like a blind man’s dream

G#                                                            Bbmin7

And sometimes it’s hard not to let the bitterness rise up

G#                                 D7sus4

And blind me

Fmin                     F# maj7

So though it seems like it would be easier just to hide

Fmin       F# maj7       D7sus4

I’ve got to try, try

G#                                 Bbmin7

To keep looking for the light

G#                                 D7sus4

Keep looking for the light

G#                                 Bbmin7

Keep looking for the light

G#                                 D7sus4

Keep looking for the light

Bbmin                                  Cmin                       Fmin

Though my heart is as black as a sloe

Bbmin                                  Cmin                       Fmin

And my love’s got nowhere to go

Bbmin

I’ve got to believe

Cmin                                    D7sus4

Got to tell myself sometimes
Everything’s going to be alright

G#           Bbmin7

Just keep looking for the light

G#                                 D7sus4

Keep looking for the light

G#           Bbmin7

2am Friday night

G#                                 D7sus4

I can feel her presence burning bright

G#                                                        Bbmin7

But like the shoots of a dream that rise from the darkness

G#                                 D7sus4

There’s a light in me, keeping hope alive

Fmin                                             F# maj7

And though it seems like it would be easier just to hide

Fmin       F# maj7       D7sus4

I’ve got to try, try

G#                                 Bbmin7

To keep looking for the light

G#                                 D7sus4

Keep looking for the light

G#                                 Bbmin7

Keep looking for the light

G#                                 D7sus4

Keep looking for the light

Lyrics

2am Friday night
I can hear the people downstairs making love
And as I look out of my window across the city
I wonder what she’s doing, who she’s thinking of

Though it seems time can’t break the spell
I’ve got to tell myself

To keep looking for the light

I have tasted glory
Ineffable; like a blind man’s dream
And sometimes it’s hard not to let the bitterness rise up
And blind me

So though it seems like it would be easier just to hide
I’ve got to try, try

To keep looking for the light

Though my heart is as black as a sloe
And my love’s got nowhere to go
I’ve got to believe
Got to tell myself sometimes

Everything’s going to be alright

Just keep looking for the light

2am Friday night
I can feel her presence burning bright
But like the shoots of a dream that rise from the darkness
There’s a light in me, keeping hope alive

And though it seems like it would be easier just to hide
I’ve got to try, try

To keep looking for the light
