D:-15-16--11-13--181818
G:-16-16--13-13--202020
second verse is the same as the first

ends with:
D:-15-16--11-13--181818
G:-16-16--13-13--202020
LYRICS:
Verse 1: 
Hold fire and I'll relax, 
place your shadow on these tracks, 
it's turning heads I have to ask.
Nothing could seem so fake, 
all this darkness it's a give or take. 
she said I open my mind to mistakes, back when...
Chorus: 
I saw the light 
and it lit up the darkest times when I, 
I saw the light I saw the light. 
I saw the light 
and it made me realise when, 
I saw the light I saw the light.
Verse 2: 
People think you're the only one, 
who knew a thing or two about love, 
or what it can do to someone. 
Chin-chin breads for a chin-chin time, 
too much sweetness for my tooth, oh and you know that's the truth.
Chorus
Bridge: 
But it's not over yet, 
there's higher people to follow 
and still those ones we haven't met. 
So I follow it through, 
never lead your eyes again, 
it's all about me, I'm excited 
to be so hearts away, away again again.
Verse 3: 
We've been on this roof for hours, 
I'm slumped over a magazine, 
I wish  your looks were at me. 
It's just so unfair, 
how you take but you just don't care, 
my words were falling through the air, oh when...
Chorus
end.
hope it's alright, 
lyrics probably very wrong, 
worked them out aswell myself.
