!NOTE!: Below, Are The reals chords diagrams, dont follow UG's diagrams it will not sound like it's supposed to :)
G Chords* If you want to play the song the same way that Lights does, you'll have to play differents G chords during the song. I placed some ''* **'' When you'll have to play the differents G chords. If you want to keep it as simple as possible just play everytime the Standard chord :)
