AmYou see the truth is that I Fam simply useless
At fCinding the right words to Gsay
And your fAmingers are frozen to Fnotes you have chosen
CLetting the tune slip Gaway
But when you sDmhine so bright
I can feel Four eyes collideG  
Soon you'll realise
CWhy waste time
Your heartstrings are cDmaught in mine
So pull me onFto your side
And we will be Amalright
You might
GBe my lifelight
CJust hold still
Hang by your wDmindow sill
And all of this Fmusic will
Still be there
AmIn sight
You might
GBe my Lifelight
Am F C G
AmCovered in caution and wFaves of distortion
Your Cmovements give you aGway
And AmI'll bring the roses write pFoetry and proses
And pCrise you apart from your Gday
Cos when you sDmhine so bright
I can feel Four eyes collideG  
Soon you'll realise
CWhy waste time
Your heartstrings are cDmaught in mine
So pull me onFto your side
And we will be Amalright
You might
GBe my lifelight
CJust hold still
Hang by your wDmindow sill
And all of this Fmusic will
Still be there
AmIn sight
You might
GBe my Lifelight
  DmCos I'm caught on this carousFel
  Too tounge tied to ever tBell
  Just circling round in the dFark
CWhy waste time
Your heartstrings are cDmaught in mine
So pull me onFto your side
And we will be Amalright
You might
GBe my lifelight
CJust hold still
Hang by your wDmindow sill
And all of this Fmusic will
Still be there
AmIn sight
You might
GBe my Lifelight

Am F

You see the truth is that I am simply useless

C G

At finding the right words to say

Am F

And your fingers are frozen to notes you have chosen

C G

Letting the tune slip away

But when you shine so bright

F G

I can feel our eyes collide

Soon you'll realise

Why waste time

Your heartstrings are caught in mine

So pull me onto your side

And we will be alright

You might

Be my lifelight

Just hold still

Hang by your window sill

And all of this music will

Still be there

In sight

You might

Be my Lifelight

Am F C G

Am F

Covered in caution and waves of distortion

C G

Your movements give you away

Am F

And I'll bring the roses write poetry and proses

C G

And prise you apart from your day

Cos when you shine so bright

F G

I can feel our eyes collide

Soon you'll realise

Why waste time

Your heartstrings are caught in mine

So pull me onto your side

And we will be alright

You might

Be my lifelight

Just hold still

Hang by your window sill

And all of this music will

Still be there

In sight

You might

Be my Lifelight

Dm F

Cos I'm caught on this carousel

Too tounge tied to ever tell

Just circling round in the dark

Why waste time

Your heartstrings are caught in mine

So pull me onto your side

And we will be alright

You might

Be my lifelight

Just hold still

Hang by your window sill

And all of this music will

Still be there

In sight

You might

Be my Lifelight

Am F C
