Lyrics & Chords

[Verse 1: Bm – D – A – E]
Of all the people who walk around
Why are so many looking down
As if the truth was underground

I heard this story of a man
Who looked for a smile but then
Jumped to never search again

[Pre-Chorus 1: D – Bm – F#m – E]
What his story made me feel
Is that his will, it was quite real
Just no one came to help him heal

But if you read between the lines
You might realise how sometimes…

[Chorus: D F#m A E]
…all you need to save a life
Is to shine like colours bright
And to show them for tonight

That this world is full of hope
And together we will grow
You’ve just got to let them know

[Verse 2: Bm – D – A – E]
Now and then it slips my mind
That one day all of us must die
And what if there’s no second try

So when I do have the peace of mind
I try to look beyond their eyes
What if I save someone with a smile?

[Pre Chorus 2: D – Bm – F#m – E]
‘Cus what his story made me feel
Is that his will, it was quite real
So he left a note to help us heal

And if you read between the lines
You might realise that sometimes…

[Bridge: A – C#m – F#m – Bm ]
If you’d been there that day
Would you honestly say
That you would have helped him stay

Or someone passed you right now
And their fire burned out
What if its true that somehow

All you need to save a life
Is to shine like colours bright
And to show them for tonight
