Intro
Bm A G Em D A
Bm
In the beginning
A G
there was one source of light
D Em
It would die and come back every night
G A
As a woman showing off her thighs
F#m
Just a little bit at a time
Bm
In the beginning
A G D
Everyone bowed their heads towards the light
Em G
They would dance and eat their friends alive
A
We were not happy then
F#m
These were simpler times
Bm A
Now we all play
G
We're the moth
D
we're the flame
Em
We were aware of the danger
G A
We could not keep away
Bm
My eyes are open
Bm A G D Em Em G A (ish)
Bm
In the beginning
A G
I was standing out in the yard
D Em
with my father pointing up at the stars
G A
and I asked Do you think there is life on Mars
F#m
Is their life like ours
Bm A
From here I see a light left on
G D
in a house like mine and out in the lawn
Em G
There's a man like you and a smaller one
A
I looked in the mirror
F#m
I have seen my son
Bm A
Oh I know
G D
How the universe it shows itself
Em G A
But it's always getting bigger like you
Bm A G D
I was told that I'd grow up to be myself
Em G A
I thought I would get bigger too
Bm G Bm G D Em G
Bm G
Look what I have found look what I have found x
D Em G
An artificial light come and gather around
Bm G
This is why we have lovers and why we need the fighters
Bm G
This is why the arms race and particle colliders
D Em G
Mine is a humble flame Just a little white lighter
Bm G Bm G D Em
(slower) G Bm A G
D Bm
And it belongs to me
A G
And it belongs to me
D Bm A
And it belongs to me
D G A G
G D Bm
I woke up in the morning
A G
To a pale light tangled in your hair
D Bm
And I never wake before you
A G
But this time I caught you sleeping there
D Bm
Yes you are my sunlight
A
You are my last breath of air
G
I would try to hold it
D
I would try to keep the moment
Bm
Like a photograph of the sunset
A
Like a little kid with a bug net
G
Like a dying man I swear
D Bm
You belong to me you belong to me
A G
If you belong to anyone then you belong to me
D
But I have no other place to keep you safe
Bm A
But in my shaky ever shaking melody
G
The light goes off
D
hope it comes back on
Bm
I'll be here
A
In my familiar haunts
G
With a empty jar
D
and a stolen song
Bm
Wait for the light
A (hold)
To come back on
