Ricky Jamaraz - Lanterns On The Lake

[Intro]
A

[Verse]
E A E F#m
I’ll take you to a lake, in the heart of paradise
D A E A
Take my hand, I’ll open your eyes
E A
We can go down to the bay
E F#m
Sit on the sand and watch the waves
E D
Watch them live, watch them die

[Verse]
A E A E
Now the faint orange glow fades beneath the horizon
F#m D A E
A million stars appear just for us
F#m D A E
A million reflections on the lake
F#m D E
A million reasons I feel safe

[Chorus]
A C# D
Every point of light is a lantern
Dm A
Every lantern has a soul
C# D
Every soul has a story
Dm A
That’s aching to be told
F#m Bm
This is ours, this is now
Dm A
This is where we wanna be
F#m Bm
Ankle deep, splash your feet
Dm Dm6 A
Are you okay with it being you and me

[Bridge]
F#m Bm D E A
Ohhhh, lanterns on the lake
F#m Bm D E A
Ohhhh, lanterns on the lake

A E

[Verse]
E A E F#m
I might steal that guy’s boat, I’m sure he’ll understand
D A E A
I stole his boat for you
E A
We’ll drive the hijacked boat
E F#m
Out to the middle of the lake
E D
We’ll sing and laugh and dance and cry
Dm Dm6
As I watch you die

[Verse]
A E
And the faint lifeless glow
A E
Fades beneath your horizon
F#m D A E
A million angels appear from above
F#m D A E
A million memories lost in your eyes
F#m D E
A million reasons to break down and cry

[Chorus]
A C# D
Oh, every point of light is a lantern
Dm A
Every lantern has a soul
C# D
Every soul has a story
Dm A
That’s aching to be told
F#m Bm
This is ours, this is now
Dm A
This is where we wanna be
F#m Bm
Ankle deep splash your feet
D Dm A
Are you okay with it being you and me?

[Chorus]
(G) A C# D
Every point of light is a lantern
Dm A
Every lantern has a soul
C# D
Every soul has a story
Dm A
That’s aching to be told
F#m Bm
This is ours, this is now
Dm A
This is where we used to be
F#m Bm
Silent weep, empty lake
Dm A
Should’ve been me who died that day
