Kelly Clarkson - Lighthouse

Capo: 1st fret

[Verse 1]
E
I need a do-over, how did we end up this way?
C#m
I’m so confused, lover, did I mistake love and pain?
B
Ain’t got no shine left, I couldn’t hide it
A
I almost lost all my light, and
E
I didn’t choose sober, but my eyes can’t look away
C#m
I see our true colors, lately, we’ve been lookin’ gray
B
I can’t turn back now ’cause you’d take me back down
A
That road that always seems to come right back around

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
Remember when we had dreams to fly away?
A B
But that was then, and now our story’s just a page

[Chorus]
E
Like a wave, you’re always crashin’ into me, crashin’ into me
C#m
And these days are harder than they used to be, and they used to be
B
No shootin’ stars can fix what we aren’t
A
What good’s a lighthouse when the light is burning out?

[Verse 2]
E
It’s such a shame when your wants and needs, they don’t align
C#m
Which road to take? ‘Cause your hand’s no longer holdin’ mine
B
I guess that’s life and sometimes you fight and
A
Sometimes you walk away in order to survive

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
Remember when there was nowhere to throw blame?
A B
But that was then, and now it’s when you use my name

[Chorus]
E
Like a chill in my bones when you say to me what you say to me
C#m
I thought I found home, but hidden underneath, we were crumblin’
B
No shootin’ stars can fix what we aren’t
A
What good’s a lighthouse when the light is burning out?

[Bridge]
F#m
And I feel what we were washing over me (I feel)
C#m
Questioning everything all the time
E
And I keep all the ways that you wanted me (I keep)
B
To be different fresh in my mind (Fresh in my mind)
F#m
What you loved, what you wanted, what you held (Ooh)
C#m
So high when we first met in hindsight
E B
Were the things that you tried and asked me to change? As if I could do that

[Chorus]
E
Like a wave, you’re always crashin’ into me, crashin’ into me
C#m
And these days are harder than they used to be, and they used to be
B
No shootin’ stars can fix what we aren’t
A
What good’s a lighthouse when the light is burning out?
