♫ Intro:

Am F C x2



♫ Verse 1:
       Am               F               C
For a long time we were coasting on fumes
       Am                 F             C
It didn't matter, we were glued to the view
                G            D          Am
Out from the frontlines with nothing to lose
              F                     C
The world got longer, the world got longer

♫ Interlude:
Am F C x2

♫ Verse 2:
        Am              F           C
Read an author, she was born in the sky
        Am                 F          C
Died not long after in the context of time
                G                       Am
And in the middle she had a beautiful mind
        F                       C
And it spilled over, it spilled over

♫ Chorus:
           Dm                       C
Would you shine when you get up to fight?
        Am              F            C
Would you win faster by dimming your lights?
        Dm                 F            C
We'll all get smaller till we all disappear
                                   F            C
If we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear

♫ Interlude:
Am F C x2

♫ Verse 3:
        Am            F             C
We're always sinking, separate, and sore
             Am         F             C
But deep sea mountains, how are they formed?
                  G                       Am
And do they too start to die from the moment they're born?
             F                    C
The world is changing, always has been

♫ Interlude:
Am F C

♫ Chorus:
          Dm                       C
Would you shine when you get up to fight?
           Am           F             C
Would you win faster by dimming your lights?
Dm                    F           C
We'll all get smaller till we all disappear
                                   F            C
If we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear
                          F                              C
Yeah we'll hide how we're bright, but it'll just be from fear
F               C
From fear, from fear

♫ Interlude:
Am F C x 4

♫ Outro:
        Am      F       C
We need your, beautiful brain
        Am                   C            F
Your clever eyeball and your love for the rain
                   G                                Am
'Cause we've got a lifetime for pushing back against pain
               F                 C
If something's pretty, let it be pretty
