Verse
A# Dm Gm7 F
Caught above the atmosphere
A# Dm Gm7 F
Kept on ice for ninety years
A# Dm Gm7 F
Fading out on sleeping pills
A# Dm Gm7 F
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
A# F Cm
I’m dying out
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
A# F Cm
You’re burning brightly
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
A# Dm Gm7 F
English grey, block out the sun
A# Dm Gm7 F
Seasons merging into one
A# Dm Gm7 F
Naked flame and kerosene
A# Dm Gm7 F
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
A# F Cm
I’m dying out
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
A# F Cm
You’re burning brightly
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
D# F D# F
[Verse 3]
A#
Through revolving doors
Dm
Where the high rise sink
Gm7
And the mothers smoke
F
Over kitchen sinks
A#
Where the cameras flash
Dm
And the models freeze
Gm7
And the writers block
F
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
A# F
Where the boys escape
Cm D#
From the primary classes
A# F
And grow moustaches
Cm D#
And lens-less glasses
A# F
We’re losing weight
Cm D#
And we’re shedding skin
A# F
And we’re turning straight
Cm D#
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
A# F
And I take my pills
Cm D#
And I make my bed
A# F
And I file my forms
Cm D#
And I feed my head
A# F
And I pay my way
Cm D#
Get to work on time
A# F
And I come home late
Cm D#
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
A# F Cm
I’m dying out
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
A# F Cm
You’re burning brightly
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
A# F Cm
I’m dying out
D# A# F Cm D#
And I need you to light me up light me up
A# F Cm
You’re burning brightly
D# A# F Cm D#
I need you to light me up so light me up
