[Verse 1]
Am F C
Moon hangs in the night
G Am
A spotlight on the world
F C G Am
Rising the lands, moving the seas
F C
And tonight from where I stand on this hill
G Am
The spotlight's on me
[Verse 2]
F C G
I am young long ago
Am
I know not a thing
F
Only that the sky is blue or sometimes grey
C G
Flowers grow but they need rain
Am F C
And when you're a kid you play games all day
G Am
Anywhere you can
[Chorus 1]
F C G Am
Spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
F C G Am
I found you, I know where you are
[Verse 3]
F
Formative years come along
C G Am
Some take the lead and some fall behind
F C
Confusion untold, life can be so dramatic
G Am
But it was real at the time
F C
Laughing with friends, crying alone
G Am
Over false hearts and petty love
[Verse 4]
F C
We leave school to face the world
G
That seems fun for a while
Am F
But you tire of the same faces
C G Am
And you dream of new places
F C
It was a breath of aspiration when my sister said
G Am
“Let’s get out of here”
F C
And we left our town, we travelled around
G Am
And I went to find me
[Chorus 2]
F C G Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
F C G Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
[Instrumental]
F C G Am F C G Am
[Verse 5]
F C G
Twentysomething and the fog has all but disappeared
Am F C
With each day passed I learn something more
G Am
But always I’m thinking “Hell, I must know it all”
F C G Am
Love, death, a little pain have passed through these walls
[Verse 6]
F C G Am F C
Situations still arise where I can see
G Am
The way I behave, it’s unjustified
F C
These are the times I look inside
G Am
And I see I’m a child after all
[Chorus 3]
F C G Am
Spotlight, I found you, I know who you are
F C G Am
Spotlight, I found you, I know who you are
F C G Am
Spotlight, I found you, I know who you are
F C G Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
F C G Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
F C G Am
Spotlight, spotlight, I found you, I know where you are
