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