[Verse 1]
Dm                                    Am
In the middle of the night it came to me
F                   C
A bridge to your ecstasy
Am                      F
Images of a burned out hell
C
You comin' in with your mission bell
 
[Chorus]
C     Dm    C      Dm        F   Em  Dm
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come

Get lit, feel the power of one

[Verse 2]
Dm                          Am
Little sister let's go downtown
F                       C
And dance to the night sounds
Am                              F
Hear the bass wafting down the hill
C
From Echo Park, my Jamaica in L.A.
 
[Chorus]
C     Dm    C      Dm        F   Em  Dm
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come

[Verse 3]
Dm                                        Am
It's in the shadows, in the sweet scent breeze
F                               C
In the riding out of a death disease
Am                               F
The prettiness shining into complete
C
In the bitterness burning up in the heat
 
[Chorus]
C     Dm    C      Dm        F   Em  Dm
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come
C   Dm             F    Em Dm
Get lit, feel the power of one
C     Dm    C      Dm        F   Em  Dm
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come

Get lit, feel the power of one
 
[Verse 4]
Dm                           Am
I was drowning in champagne eyes
F                        C
Skipping along in compromise
Am                              F
When dignity rattled me on the back
C
And my rebel mind needed to attack
 
[Chorus]
C     Dm    C      Dm        F   Em  Dm
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come
C   Dm             F    Em     Dm
Get lit, feel the power of the one
C     Dm    C      Dm        F   Em  Dm
Don't sit, waiting for the thing to come
C   Dm             F    Em     Dm
Get lit, feel the power of the one

[Verse 5]
Dm                             Am
My sweetness you were with me when
F                          C
I was sad at an evolution bend
Am                            F
Hiding alone like a rolling stone
C
Now I wanna know the power of your home
 
[Chorus]

Don't sit waiting for the thing to come
C             Dm        F        Em    Dm
Laugh in the face of a hundred planet guns
