Verse
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Caught above the atmosphere
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Kept on ice for ninety years
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Fading out on sleeping pills
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m
I’m dying out
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
G# D# A#m
You’re burning brightly
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
G# Cm Fm7 D#
English grey, block out the sun
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Seasons merging into one
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Naked flame and kerosene
G# Cm Fm7 D#
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m
I’m dying out
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
G# D# A#m
You’re burning brightly
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
C# D# C# D#
[Verse 3]
G#
Through revolving doors
Cm
Where the high rise sink
Fm7
And the mothers smoke
D#
Over kitchen sinks
G#
Where the cameras flash
Cm
And the models freeze
Fm7
And the writers block
D#
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
G# D#
Where the boys escape
A#m C#
From the primary classes
G# D#
And grow moustaches
A#m C#
And lens-less glasses
G# D#
We’re losing weight
A#m C#
And we’re shedding skin
G# D#
And we’re turning straight
A#m C#
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
G# D#
And I take my pills
A#m C#
And I make my bed
G# D#
And I file my forms
A#m C#
And I feed my head
G# D#
And I pay my way
A#m C#
Get to work on time
G# D#
And I come home late
A#m C#
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
G# D# A#m
I’m dying out
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
G# D# A#m
You’re burning brightly
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
G# D# A#m
I’m dying out
C# G# D# A#m C#
And I need you to light me up light me up
G# D# A#m
You’re burning brightly
C# G# D# A#m C#
I need you to light me up so light me up
