As recorded by Fall Out Boy
From the 2013 Album SAVE ROCK AND ROLL
[Verse 1]
Dm/C#
B-B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark
Bb/A#
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
Dm/C#
And besides in the mean, mean time
Bb/A#
I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
Dm/C#
I'm in the de-details with the devil
Bb/A#
So now the world can never get me on my level
Dm/C#
I just gotta get you off the cage
Bb/A#
I'm a young lover's rage, Gonna need a spark to ignite
Dm/C#
My songs know what you did in the dark
[Chorus]
Dm/C#
So light 'em up, up, up
Bb/A#
Light 'em up, up, up
F
Light 'em up, up, up
C
I'm on fire
[Verse 2]
Dm/C#
Writers keep writing what they write
Bb/A#
Somewhere another pretty vein just died
Dm/C#
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
Bb/A#
That you’re the antidote to everything except for me, me
Dm/C#
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Bb/A#
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
Dm/C#
In the end everything collides
Bb/A#
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
Dm/C#
My songs know what you did in the dark
[Chorus]
Dm/C#
So light 'em up, up, up
Bb/A#
Light 'em up, up, up
F
Light 'em up, up, up
C
I'm on fire
Dm/C#
So light 'em up, up, up
Bb/A#
Light 'em up, up, up
F
Light 'em up, up, up
C
I'm on fire
Dm/C# Bb/A# F C
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Dm/C# Bb/A# F C
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
