G [Intro]
[Verse 1]
G C G
I’ve got a little darkness in my heart
G D
I know one day the world will fall apart
D C Am
But until it falls to pieces and there’s fire in the sky
G C G F Cmaj
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine, shine, shine
G C G
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine
[Verse 2]
G C G
I’ve got a little darkness in my soul
G D
No Jesus, pills, or whisky fills the hole
D C Am
I’ll light another fire so the world will burn all night
G C G F Cmaj
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine, shine, shine
G C G
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine
[Chorus]
G
I want to shine like the moon at night
C G
I’ll be a million candles
G
That guide your weary footsteps
D
And keep you safe from harm
G
And if my light should falter
C G
You’ll bury me in the ground
G
And guide me through the darkness
D G
Till death it comes around
[Verse 3]
G C G
There’s a darkness on the broken side of town
G D
At midnight when the devils come around
D C Am
I’ll light us both a fire and I’ll take you through the night
G C G F Cmaj
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine, shine, shine
G C G
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine
[Chorus]
G
I want to shine like the moon at night
C G
I’ll be a million candles
G
That guide your weary footsteps
D
And keep you safe from harm
G
And if my light should falter
C G
You’ll bury me in the ground
G
And guide me through the darkness
D G
Till death it comes around
[Repeat Chorus to end]
