Please note that this is in a different key than the studio version!! If you are playing
along with the studio version, you need a capo on 2.
 
I personally play this differently than Lights does herself.  I play G, Em7, Cadd9 and D.
She plays G, C, and D barred. I will transcribe her version here and my own version below.
 
G = 355433
C = 8 10 10 9 8 8
D = 10 12 12 11 10 10
 
 
==VERSE==
G                    G                       C                       C
Here, in a familiar place, we got our heads down and we pretend its cuz the night is...
G                        G                   C                      C
Dark and running out of space for us to run around but it's a dead end and money's tight
 
 
==PRE-CHORUS==
    D          C             G
And it's been a long time of this
D              C
Something has got to give...
 
 
==CHORUS==
G
Everyone here is ready to go
     G
It’s been a hard year with nothing to show
     C                         D
From down this road, it’s only on we go, on we go
G
Everyone here is ready to go
     G
It’s been a hard year and I only know
     C                        D
From down this low, it’s only up we go, up we go

G                      G                       C                  C
Let's get on another flight, maybe set out to sea, pick it up and shake our fist at it
       G                    G                  C                      C
Cuz death is harder to come by than it is to breathe when you got to make a break for it
 
 
==PRE-CHORUS==
    D          C             G
And it's been a long time of this

G
Everyone here is ready to go
     G
It’s been a hard year and I only know
     C                        D
From down this low, it’s only up we go, up we go
 
 
==BRIDGE==
G                     G
Nothing gives easy, easy gives nothing
C                       D
I’m just trying to keep income coming in
G                      G
Dawn is bound to break when the night is done
C                   D                G
Always darker days before brighter ones
