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