Verse
F Am Dm7 C
Caught above the atmosphere
F Am Dm7 C
Kept on ice for ninety years
F Am Dm7 C
Fading out on sleeping pills
F Am Dm7 C
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
F C Gm
I’m dying out
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
F C Gm
You’re burning brightly
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
F Am Dm7 C
English grey, block out the sun
F Am Dm7 C
Seasons merging into one
F Am Dm7 C
Naked flame and kerosene
F Am Dm7 C
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
F C Gm
I’m dying out
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
F C Gm
You’re burning brightly
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
A# C A# C
[Verse 3]
F
Through revolving doors
Am
Where the high rise sink
Dm7
And the mothers smoke
C
Over kitchen sinks
F
Where the cameras flash
Am
And the models freeze
Dm7
And the writers block
C
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
F C
Where the boys escape
Gm A#
From the primary classes
F C
And grow moustaches
Gm A#
And lens-less glasses
F C
We’re losing weight
Gm A#
And we’re shedding skin
F C
And we’re turning straight
Gm A#
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
F C
And I take my pills
Gm A#
And I make my bed
F C
And I file my forms
Gm A#
And I feed my head
F C
And I pay my way
Gm A#
Get to work on time
F C
And I come home late
Gm A#
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
F C Gm
I’m dying out
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
F C Gm
You’re burning brightly
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
F C Gm
I’m dying out
A# F C Gm A#
And I need you to light me up light me up
F C Gm
You’re burning brightly
A# F C Gm A#
I need you to light me up so light me up
