Verse 1:
       D
Hello, darling
           G         D
Ain't it a cold grey day?
           Bm             F#m
Maybe it's time I hung my boots up
       G        Gm
On the nail and walk away
            D                F#7
What do you say we kill good morning
         Bm   A         G D G
Like the liar that it is?
          D                Bm
Let the imposters jump for glory
           G
Let's just not and say we did

Verse 2:
         D
Alright, sunshine
         G              D
With the papers on your plate
          Bm                F#m
I see the sorrow in the headlines
        G               Gm
And the worry on your face
                D                  F#7
I guess it's no fun to have a heart
             Bm       A           G    D G
While we are living through these days
            D              G
But there's still a lot of beauty
        D                   G
Dancing circles 'round this place


Chorus:
                       D
That's why we're gonna get up (Get up)
          G                D
Point our chin towards the sun
F#m                               A
Say a little prayer and count our blessings one by one
      Bm             A
Don't hide yourself away
           G#m                   G
Don't grow hard from what you've heard
          D                     G
You gotta break your heart wide open
      A                     D G A
Let a little light into the world
         F#m G A
Into the world


Verse 3:
            D
It's such a fine line
        G            D
Between faith and apathy
Bm               F#m
Pain can put you on your feet
   G                      Gm
Or bring you to your knees
          D                 F#7
If you're locked inside the end of days
    Bm       A          G    D G
And darkness pulls your mind
D                 G
Bend the bars and hold the fire
    D            G
Let every corner shine


Chorus:
                       D
That's why we're gonna get up (Get up)
          G                D
Point our chin towards the sun
F#m                               A
Say a little prayer and count our blessings one by one
      Bm             A
Don't hide yourself away
           G#m                   G
Don't grow hard from what you've heard
          D                     G
You gotta break your heart wide open
      A                     D G A
Let a little light into the world
         F#m G A
Into the world


Bridge:
F#m
What else can we do?
Bm
What do these years mean
      G               D             A
If we haven't got the answers anyway?
      Em
Do we see it to believe it
     F#7            Bm
Or believe it to be seen?
    A          G
Oh, ain't it a fight?
             A
Let there be light


Outro:
             D
Let a little light
             G              D
Let a little light into the world
         A
Let your light
             G
Let a little light into the world
    Bm            A               G#m            G
And sing into the darkness like a Sunday morning bird
D                     G
Break your heart wide open
             A              D G A
Let a little light into the world
         F#m G A
Into the world
         D G A
Into the world
 F#m G A  D G A
Ooh
ooh
 F#m G A  D
Ooh
