[Intro]
 
Am  Fmaj7/A  G  x4
 
 
[Verse]
 
(Gsus4)      Am        Fmaj7/A    G
I'll sing it one last time for you
         Am    Fmaj7/A   Gsus4
Then we really have to go
                Am   Fmaj7/A         G
You've been the only thing that's right
            Am    Fmaj7/A    G
In all I've done
            Am    Fmaj7/A    G
And I can barely look at you
           Am     Fmaj7/A   G
But every single time I do
              Am     Fmaj7/A   G
I know we'll make it anywhere
           Am   Fmaj7/A   G
Away from here
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
C
Light up, light up
           G
As if you have a choice
              Gsus4 Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                          F
I'll be right beside you dear
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C
Louder, louder
              G
And we'll run for our lives
              Gsus4   Am
I can hardly speak I understand
                                   F     G
Why you can't raise your voice to say
 
 
[Verse]
 
(G)         Am       Fmaj7/A       G
To think I might not see those eyes
         Am      Fmaj7/A    G
Makes it so hard not to cry
          Am      Fmaj7/A      G
And as we say our long goodbyes
         Am   Fmaj7/A   G
I nearly do
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
C
Light up, light up
           G
As if you have a choice
             Gsus4  Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                          F
I'll be right beside you dear
 
 
[Chorus 4]
 
C
Louder, louder
               G
And we'll run for our lives
              Gsus4   Am
I can hardly speak I understand
                                   F
Why you can't raise your voice to say
 
 
[Chorus 5]
 
C
Slower, slower
               G
We don't have time for that
                 Gsus4   Am
All I want's to find an easier way
                          F
To get out of our little heads
 
 
[Chorus 6]
 
C
Have heart my dear
               G
We're bound to be afraid
              Gsus4   Am
Even if it's just for a few days
                        F       G
Making up for all this mess

For anybody playing this - the chord Gsus4 (if you didn't know already) is played 3x003x - I don't know why it's been scrambled up there, that's not how I wrote it out. Also - just follow the chord box that I've written out, hovering over the chord symbols in the song I've noticed that most of the chords have been done wrong, by whoever did it.... Rikki.

+10

Brilliant song Gsus4 needs a C apart from that great cheers

Actually, I've just went and checked there, and the chords sound fine either way, but judge me only on my own interpretation....
