[Verse 1]

E G#m C#m7 B

Caught above the atmosphere

E G#m C#m7 B

Kept on ice for ninety years

E G#m C#m7 B

Fading out on sleeping pills

E G#m C#m7 B

Camel blue and orange peel

[Chorus]

E B F#m

I’m dying out

A E B F#m A

And I need you to light me up light me up

E B F#m

You’re burning brightly

A E B F#m A

And I need you to light me up light me up

[Verse 2]

E G#m C#m7 B

English grey, block out the sun

E G#m C#m7 B

Seasons merging into one

E G#m C#m7 B

Naked flame and kerosene

E G#m C#m7 B

Diamond white and racing green

[Chorus]

E B F#m

I’m dying out

A E B F#m A

And I need you to light me up light me up

[Bridge]

A B A B

[Verse 3]

Through revolving doors

G#m

Where the high rise sink

C#m7

And the mothers smoke

Over kitchen sinks

Where the cameras flash

G#m

And the models freeze

C#m7

And the writers block

Up the magazines

[Verse 4]

E B

Where the boys escape

F#m A

From the primary classes

E B

And grow moustaches

F#m A

And lens-less glasses

E B

We’re losing weight

F#m A

And we’re shedding skin

E B

And we’re turning straight

F#m A

And we’re tuning in

[Verse 5]

E B

And I take my pills

F#m A

And I make my bed

E B

And I file my forms

F#m A

And I feed my head

E B

And I pay my way

F#m A

Get to work on time

E B

And I come home late

F#m A

Every Friday night

[Chorus]

E B F#m

I’m dying out

A E B F#m A

And I need you to light me up light me up

E B F#m

You’re burning brightly

A E B F#m A

And I need you to light me up light me up

[Outro]

E B F#m

I’m dying out

A E B F#m A

And I need you to light me up light me up

E B F#m

You’re burning brightly

A E B F#m A

I need you to light me up so light me up
