Verse
C Em Am7 G
Caught above the atmosphere
C Em Am7 G
Kept on ice for ninety years
C Em Am7 G
Fading out on sleeping pills
C Em Am7 G
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
C G Dm
I’m dying out
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
C G Dm
You’re burning brightly
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
C Em Am7 G
English grey, block out the sun
C Em Am7 G
Seasons merging into one
C Em Am7 G
Naked flame and kerosene
C Em Am7 G
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
C G Dm
I’m dying out
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
C G Dm
You’re burning brightly
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
F G F G
[Verse 3]
C
Through revolving doors
Em
Where the high rise sink
Am7
And the mothers smoke
G
Over kitchen sinks
C
Where the cameras flash
Em
And the models freeze
Am7
And the writers block
G
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
C G
Where the boys escape
Dm F
From the primary classes
C G
And grow moustaches
Dm F
And lens-less glasses
C G
We’re losing weight
Dm F
And we’re shedding skin
C G
And we’re turning straight
Dm F
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
C G
And I take my pills
Dm F
And I make my bed
C G
And I file my forms
Dm F
And I feed my head
C G
And I pay my way
Dm F
Get to work on time
C G
And I come home late
Dm F
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
C G Dm
I’m dying out
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
C G Dm
You’re burning brightly
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
C G Dm
I’m dying out
F C G Dm F
And I need you to light me up light me up
C G Dm
You’re burning brightly
F C G Dm F
I need you to light me up so light me up
