C                               C
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
        Fsus2(maj7)                        Fsus2(maj7)
And I'm down and my knees, and I know that something is missing
            C                          C
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
      Cadd9                            G6
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
 
      C                        C
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan
              Fsus2(maj7)                   Fsus2(maj7)
Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
         C                            C
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
          Cadd9                   G6
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it
 
        Dm         Dm
I don't want to know
 
               F         G
I just want to run to you
                  C                       Am Am7
And break off the chains, and throw them away
               F         G
I just want to be so much
                  C                      Am  Am7
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
            F    F             G      G
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
            F      Cmaj11
I'll need a saviour
 
 
C                                C
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
         Fsus2(maj7)                     Fsus2(maj7)
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
              C                                C
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to hold
               Cadd9                             G6
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go
 
        Dm         Dm
I don't want to know
 
               F         G
I just want to run to you
                  C                       Am Am7
And break off the chains, and throw them away
               F         G
I just want to be so much
                  C                      Am  Am7
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
            F    F             G      G
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
            Am
I'll need a saviour
 
G           F                         F        Am
  Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
G                   F                             F
  Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall
Fm     Fm
save me

I'll need a saviour

Awesome ! Great Tab ! I just don't agree with the name you gave to your chords ^^ For Example : Your Cmaj11 133000, I see it as a Fsus2 because Lights doesnt play the 2 first strings --> 1330xx . Same Thing for the G6 Chord, the same 2 strings arent strumed wich create a Regular G chord ! ^^ It's No big deal :D Tough your tab is great and accurate ! 5 Stars :P Keep rocking ^^

Is this supposed to just be standard tuning with the capo? A lot of the fingerings provided for the way Lights actually plays it sound really really off if so. For example, C should be [3 3 2 0 1 0] instead of [3 3 0 2 0 1]. Something tells me I'm missing something though because of all the good ratings.

I tried to figure it out, it suppose to be Capo 2 NOT Capo 1!! I played it with the music on Capo 2 and the chords here match with it!!
