[VERSE]
F# E
She’s a little lighthouse when she
F# E
Opens up her huge eyes
E
And streams of diamonds shoot out
B F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
'Til we're wading waist deep in her brilliant love----------
[VERSE]
F# E
She’s a little lighthouse when she
F# E
Opens up her red mouth
E B
And gold word ribbons rope and rodeo
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
The dark clouds in bouquet above----------
[BRIDGE]
Bb Dm C#
For how long will this dark age last?
G# A#
For how long must we wait to learn?
F# Bbm
Across the black and fossil ocean vast
B C#
I spy love and she doth brightly burn
F# D F# D
Love sure lives in the right house
F# E F# E
[VERSE]
F# E
She’s a little lighthouse when she
F# E
Opens up her huge mind and

Thoughts descending spears of crystal
B F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Build a Jacob’s ladder up to love-----------
[VERSE]
F# E
She’s a little lighthouse when she
F# E
Opens up her red dress
E
Show skin of rubber marble
B F# F#sus4 F# F#sus4 F#
Lit by knowledge and the fireflies above----------
[BRIDGE]
Bb Dm C#
And can others see this splendid beam?
G# A#
Or do they navigate in dark?
F# Bbm
If you ever want to dock your dream
B C#
You’ll need love to guide your fragile ark
F# D F# D
Love sure keeps a bright house
