[Verse]
                                   D
When we were young we used to sing ■
G                              
■ And we could feel the harmony
C                                     
■ You'd sit there waiting in the wings
D   G                             D              C    
How long have you been waitin' to let your light shine
     C                         
Many years have gone since then
D G                              
■ ■ Seen us go our different ways
C                               
■ But now we sit here once again
D       G                            D                   
Tonight we're gonna sing out tonight our light will shine
G             D        G     C
■ This is the time and place ■
G                  D        Am F
■ To bring out our memories ■  ■


[Chorus]
G                 D     Em  
■ It's written on every face
          G  C                  D     G  C
I can see it in you you can see it in me ■
G            D        G   C
■ In all the years we had ■
G              D      Am   F

[Verse]
C                                 
■ I know it's left its mark on you
D G                                
■ ■ I see the same things in myself
C                                     
■ You know there's nothin' we can't do
D7    G                            D                    
We've been a long time waitin' but some things never die
C                                   
■ It's time to leave all that behind
D G                                    
■ ■ It's time to lay that ghost to rest
C                                 
■ We can't deny the ties that bind
D G                                    D                   
■ Tonight we're gonna sing out tonight our light will shine
