I Reach for the Light Lyrics

"I Reach For The Light"
(Eric Carmen)
Intro (solo piano):
arpeggiate
Verse 1:
I can't begin to count the times I have been by myself
piano arr. for guitar:
v v v v
bass:
I lie awake, my lonely room tells me there's no one else
No one else
Chorus:
I reach for the light, it shines above my head
Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light, it shines across the room
And brings to mind what might have been
Verse 2:
I tell myself I'm better off no one can hurt me now
I see your crumpled photograph it makes me laugh out loud
Laugh out loud
repeat chorus
Bridge:
When I wish I could forget how good you looked tonight
When you smiled at me and walked away with him (oh... oh, no!)
guitar solo over verse chords
repeat chorus; rit. at end
Coda:
N..
I reach for the light
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off, no one can hurt
me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumbled photograph, it makes me
laugh out loud
(I reach for the light)
I lie awake, my lonely room tells me there's
no one else
continue as above; fade
