♫ Verse 1:
D
Broadway traffic streaming light
    D
She came from California
             Cadd9                               G
Running from daylight into this endless electric twilight
    D
And when she dies a ghost is born
         D                                          Cadd9
Singing "Get up, get up, get up, get up out of your memories
                                          G
Get out of the sunlight, get out of that sleeping western town"

♫ Pre-Chorus:
F                   Cadd9/E         D
Got a little bit of running for you now
F                   Cadd9/E
Got a little way to run


♫ Chorus:
   Cadd9
To answer all our hopes and fears
  G
A king is leaving Union Square
    F
Did we leave the light on? (Did we leave the light on?)
     Cadd9
Does he need a light on? (Does he need a light on?)
    Cadd9                              G
The king is screaming highway songs of blood and liеs, of hope and wrong
    F
Did we leavе the light on? (Did we leave the light on?)
     Cadd9
Does he need a light on?


♫ Verse 2:
D
Yesterday when we get older
      D
We'll look back on all the times
           Cadd9                             G
He had you putting a face on instead of just walking away
   D
So paint your face black and blue again
D                                  Cadd9
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up new and put on the clothes
              G
That make you feel like you're not broken


♫ Pre-Chorus:
F                      Cadd9/E       D
He put a little bit of color in your eye
F                       Cadd9
You got a little bit of color


♫ Chorus:

To answer all our hopes and prayers
   G
An angel sang in Union Square
F
Did she leave the light on? (Did she leave the light on?)
   Cadd9
Do we need a light on?
    Cadd9
The congregation came to stare
   G
To touch her dress, to pull her hair
     F
They tore her clothes and left her there
    Cadd9
Did she need a light on? (Does she need a light on?)
   F
Do we need a light on? (Do we need a light on?)
   Am
Do we need a light on? (Do we need a light on?)
   Em
Do we need a light on?

♫ Verse 3:
    D
The daydream nations won't come true
    D
The ghosts you made up ghosted you
    Cadd9                                 G
The angel learns to live with things that make her feel uneasy

And after all the dreaming's done
             D                                      Cadd9
She screams "Wake up, wake up, wake up, this is a recording, a ghost of England
           G
Awake in a dream of America"

F                          Cadd9/E        D
You see him coming out the corner of your eye
F                                  Cadd9/E
You can hear him breathing when he runs


♫ Chorus:
    Cadd9
The king of all our hopes and fears
    G
His train departing Union Square
     F
Just moved to somewhere south of here
    Cadd9
Did he leave a light on? (Did he leave a light on?)
    Cadd9
Her feathers stale with sex and beer
    G
The angel of the pavement cries
    F
"If God is dead, why am I here?
       Cadd9            F
Did he leave a light on for me? (Did he leave a light on?)
       Am               F
Did he leave a light on for me? (Did he leave a light on?)
       Am               F
Did he leave a light on for me? (Did he leave a light on?)
       Am               Em
Did he leave a light on for me?"
