Verse 1:
C majorC
All my friends they shoulder me
  E minor 7Em7
And my poor head of woe
       Fmaj7Fmaj7
They know I’m good
          C majorC   G6G6
But I want to be bad

C majorC
Standing there with the lights down low
  E minor 7Em7
And lovers who make love
       Fmaj7Fmaj7
They see me smiling
          C majorC   G6G6
But I want to be sad

Chorus:
     A minorAm
Would you light me up
     E minorEm
Really set me on fire
  Fmaj7Fmaj7            C majorC   G6G6
And be there when I’m burning out

      A minorAm
Would you hold my head
      E minorEm
’Neath the water tap
   Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC   G6G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?


Verse 2:
C majorC
Evil walks the streets by day
    E minor 7Em7
’Tween every crack and pave
    Fmaj7Fmaj7         C majorC   G6G6
And by night it cowers and hides
C majorC
Here it comes that awful sting
   E minor 7Em7
When You let someone in
      Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC   G6G6
You sit so bare in the lame legged chair

Chorus:
      A minorAm
Would you light me up
     E minorEm
Really set me on fire
  Fmaj7Fmaj7            C majorC   G6G6
And be there when I’m burning out

      A minorAm
Would you hold my head
      E minorEm
’Neath the water tap
   Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC   G6G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?


Bridge:
DmDm           G7G7
Wanna live between the lie
C majorC           A minorAm
And where the truth dies
DmDm          G7G7
Everything in its own time


Chorus:
     A minorAm
Would you light me up
      E minorEm
Really set me on fire
  Fmaj7Fmaj7            C majorC   G6G6
And be there when I’m burning out

     A minorAm
Would you hold my head
       E minorEm
’Neath the water tap
  Fmaj7Fmaj7           C majorC   G6G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?

     A minorAm
Would you light me up
      E minorEm
Really set me on fire
  Fmaj7Fmaj7            C majorC   G6G6
And be there when I’m burning out

      A minorAm
Would you hold my head
      E minorEm
’Neath the water tap
   Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC   G6G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?
