Verse 1
I am a light (E minor) house
(G major) worn by the weather and (Dsus2) the waves
I keep my (E minor) lamp lit,
to (G major) warn the sailors on their (Dsus2) way
I'll tell a story, (E minor)
(G major) paint you a picture from my (Dsus2) past
I was so (E minor) happy,
but (G major) joy in this life seldom (Dsus2) lasts

Verse 2
I had a keeper (E minor)
(G major) he helped me warn the ships at (Dsus2) sea
We had grown (E minor) closer,
(G major) 'till his joy meant everything to (Dsus2) me
And he was to marry, (E minor)
a (G major) girl who shone with beauty and (Dsus2) light
And they loved each (E minor) other,
And (G major) with me watched the sunsets
into (Dsus2) night
Chorus 1
And the waves (C major) crashing around (B minor) me,
the sand (B flat major) slips out (C major) to (D major) sea
And the winds (C major) that blow remind (B minor) me,
Of what has been, (E minor) (F sharp minor)
(G major) and what can (A major) never (D major) be

(E minor) (G major)
(Dsus2) (Dsus2)
Verse 3
She'd had to leave (E minor) us,
my (G major) keeper he prayed for a safe return (Dsus2)
But when the night (E minor) came,
the (G major) weather to a raging storm had (Dsus2) turned
(C major) He watched her (E minor) ship fight,
but in vain (G major) against the wild and terrible (Dsus2) wind
In me so (E minor) helpless,
as (G major) dashed against the rock she met her (Dsus2) end
Chorus 2
And the waves (C major) crashing around (B minor) me,
the sand (B flat major) slips out (C major) to (D major) sea
And the winds (C major) that blow remind (B minor) me,
Of what has been, (E minor) (F sharp minor)
(G major) and what can (A major) never (D major) be

Bridge 1
Then on the next (E minor/D) day,
my (G/D) keeper found her washed up on the (Dadd9) shore
He kissed her (E minor/D) cold face,
(G/D) that they'd be together soon
he (Dadd9) swore
I saw him (E minor) crying,
(G major) watched as he buried her in the (Dsus2) sand
And then he climbed my (E minor) tower,
and (G major) off of the edge of me he (Dsus2) ran
Chorus 3
And the waves (C major) crashing around (B minor) me,
the sand (B flat major) slips out (C major) to (D major) sea
And the winds (C major) that blow remind (B minor) me,
Of what has been, (E minor) (F sharp minor)
(G major) and can (A major) never (D major) be
Interlude 5
(E minor) (G major)
(Dsus2) (Dsus2)
Outro 1
I am a light (E minor/D) house
(G/D) worn by the weather and the (Dadd9) waves
And though I'm (E minor/D) empty,
I (G/D) still warn the sailors on their (Dadd9) way
