Intro
1, 2, 3... 
G 
 
Verse 1
         C 
How'd it come to this 
                           G 
Crept up through the aching glow 
     C 
An unencumbered bliss 
                                      G 
It took it's time, and took the moment home 
 
Verse 2
         C                                  G 
Just a faded lover, dressed in corduroy blue stone 
          C                                       G 
But I was so disguised in that nobody knew I was alone 
 
Chorus
              Am 
And all them pretty girls were laughing 
             C                         Em    C 
With their goose feathers and collar bones, ooh 
         G 
Light it up 
 
Verse 3
            C 
Is this the money maker 
                         G 
It's the failure of that wind 
               C 
And it's been years since I had seen a face 
                  G 
That I had loved again 
 
Verse 4
  C 
Ooooh 
                            G 
More than enough to go right round 
            C 
But it gets so damn frightening 
                                      G 
When you're holding lightning off the ground 
 
Chorus
          Am 
And I was lying in the middle 
         C                 Em    C 
Just the atheist in a fox hole, ooh 
         G 
Light it up 
 
Bridge
 
Light it up, let go 
         C 
Take the arrow 
         G 
Light it up, let go 
         C 
Take the arrow 
              G 
Just light it up 
                 C 
Did you take the arrow 
              G 
Just light it up, let go 
 
Just to keep them down, down 
 
Chorus
              Am                   C 
And there was so much paper, under water vapour 
      Em                         C 
And I tried so hard to find your face 
            G 
So light it up
