[Verse 1]
E G#m C#m7 B
Caught above the atmosphere
E G#m C#m7 B
Kept on ice for ninety years
E G#m C#m7 B
Fading out on sleeping pills
E G#m C#m7 B
Camel blue and orange peel
[Chorus]
E B F#m
I’m dying out
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
E B F#m
You’re burning brightly
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Verse 2]
E G#m C#m7 B
English grey, block out the sun
E G#m C#m7 B
Seasons merging into one
E G#m C#m7 B
Naked flame and kerosene
E G#m C#m7 B
Diamond white and racing green
[Chorus]
E B F#m
I’m dying out
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
E B F#m
You’re burning brightly
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Bridge]
A B A B
[Verse 3]
E
Through revolving doors
G#m
Where the high rise sink
C#m7
And the mothers smoke
B
Over kitchen sinks
E
Where the cameras flash
G#m
And the models freeze
C#m7
And the writers block
B
Up the magazines
[Verse 4]
E B
Where the boys escape
F#m A
From the primary classes
E B
And grow moustaches
F#m A
And lens-less glasses
E B
We’re losing weight
F#m A
And we’re shedding skin
E B
And we’re turning straight
F#m A
And we’re tuning in
[Verse 5]
E B
And I take my pills
F#m A
And I make my bed
E B
And I file my forms
F#m A
And I feed my head
E B
And I pay my way
F#m A
Get to work on time
E B
And I come home late
F#m A
Every Friday night
[Chorus]
E B F#m
I’m dying out
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
E B F#m
You’re burning brightly
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
[Outro]
E B F#m
I’m dying out
A E B F#m A
And I need you to light me up light me up
E B F#m
You’re burning brightly
A E B F#m A
I need you to light me up so light me up
