Verse
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Caught above the atmosphere
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Kept on ice for ninety years
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Fading out on sleeping pills
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
F# C# G#m
I’m dying out
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
F# C# G#m
You’re burning brightly
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
F# A#m D#m7 C#
English grey, block out the sun
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Seasons merging into one
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Naked flame and kerosene
F# A#m D#m7 C#
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
F# C# G#m
I’m dying out
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
F# C# G#m
You’re burning brightly
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
B C# B C#
[Verse 3]
F#
Through revolving doors
A#m
Where the high rise sink
D#m7
And the mothers smoke
C#
Over kitchen sinks
F#
Where the cameras flash
A#m
And the models freeze
D#m7
And the writers block
C#
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
F# C#
Where the boys escape
G#m B
From the primary classes
F# C#
And grow moustaches
G#m B
And lens-less glasses
F# C#
We’re losing weight
G#m B
And we’re shedding skin
F# C#
And we’re turning straight
G#m B
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
F# C#
And I take my pills
G#m B
And I make my bed
F# C#
And I file my forms
G#m B
And I feed my head
F# C#
And I pay my way
G#m B
Get to work on time
F# C#
And I come home late
G#m B
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
F# C# G#m
I’m dying out
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
F# C# G#m
You’re burning brightly
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
F# C# G#m
I’m dying out
B F# C# G#m B
And I need you to light me up light me up
F# C# G#m
You’re burning brightly
B F# C# G#m B
I need you to light me up so light me up
