UP WE GO (ACOUSTIC) - Lights
http://youtu.be/Q-xPuJWfIrY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that this is in a different key than the studio version!! If you are playing
along with the studio version, you need a capo on 2.
I personally play this differently than Lights does herself. I play G, Em7, Cadd9 and D.
She plays G, C, and D barred. I will transcribe her version here and my own version below.
G = 355433
C = 8 10 10 9 8 8
D = 10 12 12 11 10 10
==VERSE==
G G C C
Here, in a familiar place, we got our heads down and we pretend its cuz the night is...
G G C C
Dark and running out of space 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
G
It’s been a hard year with nothing to show
C D
From down this road, it’s only on we go, on we go
G
Everyone here is ready to go
G
It’s been a hard year and I only know
C D
From down this low, it’s only up we go, up we go
==VERSE==
G G C C
Let's get on another flight, maybe set out to sea, pick it up and shake our fist at it
G G C C
Cuz death is harder to come by than it is to breathe when you got to make a 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==
G
Everyone here is ready to go
G
It’s been a hard year with nothing to show
C D
From down this road, it’s only on we go, on we go
G
Everyone here is ready to go
G
It’s been a hard year and I only know
C D
From down this low, it’s only up we go, up we go
==BRIDGE==
G G
Nothing gives easy, easy gives nothing
C D
I’m just trying to keep income coming in
G G
Dawn is bound to break when the night is done
C D G
Always darker days before brighter ones
==CHORUS==
G
Everyone here is ready to go
G
It’s been a hard year with nothing to show
C D
From down this road, it’s only on we go, on we go
G
Everyone here is ready to go
G
It’s been a hard year and I only know
