E
in the night i’m calling you
A E
be my guide , help me through
E
in the night i call your name
A E
you’re the light in times of shame
D A B E
the songs i sing , all my love i bring for you

E7 B7
i always try to make things better , everything that has gone wrong
A7 B7
mighty plans in the right direction , but very little has been done .
E7 B7
everyday when i try to get forward , i find myself another mile back ,
A7 B7
help me fighting , help me breathing , why Am i falling down instead?

D A E
every useful minute seems to be the thought of you
D A E
every hour seems like wasted , filled with things that i might do
D B
without love in my reactions seems the saddEst thing , but it’s true

[ chorus , same as the previous one ]

solo backing : E and E7 , just alternate between those two chords!
enter the next part with A B7 , and play it more quietly with lots of plalm muting!

B7
free from ourselves and free form this world we may find
A7 B7
the freedom we search , ’cause all that we need is inside
B7
the hours we waste , we may not get back for a while
A7 G F#
B7
and when it gets dark , no chance will be there for a try

[ verse : same chords as previous verses ]
when i wake up early in the morning , i catch abook and jump inside ,
i fill my head with a million wonders , and try to fill the night with light
the moment when i get things clearer , i see another mountain to climb
and always when i think i’m nearer , i realize there is no time

[ chorus , same chords as previous choruses ]
in the night i’m calling you
be my guide , help me through
in the night i call your name
you’re the light in times of shame
sometimes i cried after all i lied to you

end the song with one and a half bar of E ( listen to the song for clues )
