Verse
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Caught above the atmosphere
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Kept on ice for ninety years
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Fading out on sleeping pills
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
D# A# Fm
I’m dying out
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
D# A# Fm
You’re burning brightly
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
D# Gm Cm7 A#
English grey, block out the sun
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Seasons merging into one
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Naked flame and kerosene
D# Gm Cm7 A#
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
D# A# Fm
I’m dying out
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
D# A# Fm
You’re burning brightly
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
G# A# G# A#
[Verse 3]
D#
Through revolving doors
Gm
Where the high rise sink
Cm7
And the mothers smoke
A#
Over kitchen sinks
D#
Where the cameras flash
Gm
And the models freeze
Cm7
And the writers block
A#
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
D# A#
Where the boys escape
Fm G#
From the primary classes
D# A#
And grow moustaches
Fm G#
And lens-less glasses
D# A#
We’re losing weight
Fm G#
And we’re shedding skin
D# A#
And we’re turning straight
Fm G#
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
D# A#
And I take my pills
Fm G#
And I make my bed
D# A#
And I file my forms
Fm G#
And I feed my head
D# A#
And I pay my way
Fm G#
Get to work on time
D# A#
And I come home late
Fm G#
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
D# A# Fm
I’m dying out
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
D# A# Fm
You’re burning brightly
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
D# A# Fm
I’m dying out
G# D# A# Fm G#
And I need you to light me up light me up
D# A# Fm
You’re burning brightly
G# D# A# Fm G#
I need you to light me up so light me up
