These chords are super easy and great for any beginner! There may be a few fancy runs or chords in there but
these are the basics and perfect for singing along to. I'm using this video as a reference for the chords
that Lights uses during acoustic performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-rDFMJJLbE
No capo!
Verse 1:
G
Here, in a familiar place
C
We got our heads down
G
And we pretend its ’cause the night is dark
And running out of space
C
For us to run around
But it's a dead end and money's tight
Pre-Chorus:
D C G
And it's been a long time of this
D C
Something has got to give
Chorus:
G
Everyone here is ready to go
It’s been a hard year with nothing to show
C
From down this road
D
It’s only on we go, on we go
G
Everyone here is ready to go
It’s been a hard year and I only know
C
From down this low
D
It’s only up we go, up we go
Verse 2:
G
Let's get on another flight
C
Maybe set out to sea
Pick it up and shake our fist at it
G
’Cause death is harder to come by
C
Than it is to breathe
When you got to make or break for it
Pre-Chorus:
D C G
And it's been a long time of this
D C
Something has got to give
Chorus
Bridge:
G
Nothing gives easy
Easy gives nothing
C D
I’m just trying to keep income coming in
G
Dawn is bound to break
When the night is done
C
Always darker days
D
Before brighter ones
Chorus:
G
Everyone here is ready to go
It’s been a hard year with nothing to show
C
From down this road
D
It’s only on we go, on we go
G
Everyone here is ready to go
It’s been a hard year and I only know
C
From down this low
D
It’s only up we go, up we go
