C
All my friends they shoulder me
    Em7
And my poor head of woe

They know I’m good

But I want to be bad

C
Standing there with the lights down low
    Em7
And lovers who make love
             Fmaj7
They see me smiling
                    C     G6
But I want to be sad


Chorus:
          Am
Would you light me up
         Em
Really set me on fire
    Fmaj7                       C     G6
And be there when I’m burning out

           Am
Would you hold my head
            Em
’Neath the water tap
     Fmaj7                    C     G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?


Verse 2:
C
Evil walks the streets by day
       Em7
’Tween every crack and pave
       Fmaj7                 C     G6
And by night it cowers and hides
C
Here it comes that awful sting
     Em7
When You let someone in
           Fmaj7                    C     G6
You sit so bare in the lame legged chair


Chorus:
           Am
Would you light me up
         Em
Really set me on fire
    Fmaj7                        C     G6
And be there when I’m burning out

           Am
Would you hold my head
            Em
’Neath the water tap
     Fmaj7                    C     G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?


Bridge:
Dm                     G7
Wanna live between the lie
C                     Am
And where the truth dies
Dm                    G7
Everything in its own time


Chorus:
          Am
Would you light me up
           Em
Really set me on fire
    Fmaj7                       C     G6
And be there when I’m burning out

          Am
Would you hold my head
             Em
’Neath the water tap
    Fmaj7                      C     G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?

          Am
Would you light me up
           Em
Really set me on fire
    Fmaj7                        C     G6
And be there when I’m burning out

           Am
Would you hold my head
            Em
’Neath the water tap
      Fmaj7                   C     G6
And elbow me if I get too loud?
