Verse
D F#m Bm7 A
Caught above the atmosphere
D F#m Bm7 A
Kept on ice for ninety years
D F#m Bm7 A
Fading out on sleeping pills
D F#m Bm7 A
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
D A Em
I’m dying out
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
D A Em
You’re burning brightly
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
D F#m Bm7 A
English grey, block out the sun
D F#m Bm7 A
Seasons merging into one
D F#m Bm7 A
Naked flame and kerosene
D F#m Bm7 A
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
D A Em
I’m dying out
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
D A Em
You’re burning brightly
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
G A G A
[Verse 3]
D
Through revolving doors
F#m
Where the high rise sink
Bm7
And the mothers smoke
A
Over kitchen sinks
D
Where the cameras flash
F#m
And the models freeze
Bm7
And the writers block
A
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
D A
Where the boys escape
Em G
From the primary classes
D A
And grow moustaches
Em G
And lens-less glasses
D A
We’re losing weight
Em G
And we’re shedding skin
D A
And we’re turning straight
Em G
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
D A
And I take my pills
Em G
And I make my bed
D A
And I file my forms
Em G
And I feed my head
D A
And I pay my way
Em G
Get to work on time
D A
And I come home late
Em G
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
D A Em
I’m dying out
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
D A Em
You’re burning brightly
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
D A Em
I’m dying out
G D A Em G
And I need you to light me up light me up
D A Em
You’re burning brightly
G D A Em G
I need you to light me up so light me up
