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