[Intro]
 
| Em     C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am      |
| Em     C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em        C     G
       Stole a key
       Em                      C
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
          C                Am                      Em
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
    C    G
To set me free
           Em                    C
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
          C                          Am
Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me
 
 
[Interlude]
 
| Em     C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am      |
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em           C      G
       In my scarecrow dreams
           Em                     C
When they smash my heart into smithereens
     C                     Am                    Em
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
      C     G
Be a cartoon heart
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C
Light a fire, a fire, a spark
D                            C
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C
We'll run wild
                         Em
We'll be glowing in the dark
 
 
[Interlude]
 
|(Em)    C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am      |
 
| Em     C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am
 
 
[Bridge]
 
        D
All the boys, all the girls
         C             G
All that matters in the world
         D
All the boys, all the girls
         C             G
All the madness that occurs
         D
All the highs, all the lows
        C               G    C
As the room a-spinning, goes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C
We'll run riot
                         Em
We'll be glowing in the dark
 
 
[Interlude]
 
| Em     C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am      |
| Em     C|(C)  | G       | G       |
| Em      | C       | C       | Am
 
         Em    C  G
So we'll soar
 
 
[Outro]
 
C
  Luminous and wired
                         G
We'll be glowing in the dark

so in the intro where it goes: Em C G G Em C Em Am; the Em right before the Am isn't necessary. i believe it should just be: Em C G G C Am. Basically, you play the C alittle longer and obviously this would be throughout the song, not just the intro. other than that, great tab. :) thank you.

You van also transpose the chords by -3, t han you don't need a capo. You should play Barré-chords. This is hust an easy version :) Thanks for comments but i think the Em is right :)

Does anyone know a good strumming pattern for this song please?!?!?!?!
