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

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
