Verse 1:
                   D
I've been waiting,
          E
elevating,
               D   E
hanging on a line
               D
Hate to say it
                  C
your new favourite’s
               D   E
going out of style
                 D
Through a weirdo
                 E
of broken heroes,
                    D  E
that just wasn't wise
           D
Hallelujah,
                      C
spread the news, boy,
                    D
don't believe the hype

Pre-Chorus:
    C   A
Alright
                         G   A
Are you afraid of the dark?
                          G A
I know a place we can start

Chorus:
        E           D
But if this is our last time
E              D
Make up your mind
       E           D        C
I’ve waited a lifetime to live
                A                    E  D E D E
It's time to ignite, I'm making a fire

Verse 2:
             D
I was baited
                E
when I said I'd
               D  E
never tell a lie
             D
Lucky then I
                 C
took a stand and
                   D
finally hit my stride

Pre-Chorus:
    C   A
Alright
                         G   A
Are you afraid of the dark?
                          G A
I know a place we can start

Chorus:
        E           D
But if this is our last time
E              D
Make up your mind
       E           D        C
I’ve waited a lifetime to live
                A                    E  D E D
It's time to ignite, I'm making a fire

Instrumental:

I know a place we can start

Chorus:
        E           D
But if this is our last time
E              D
Make up your mind
       E           D        C
I’ve waited a lifetime to live
                    A
It’s down to the wire
E            D
This is our last time
      E          D
I’ve made up my mind
        E          D        C
I've waited a lifetime to live
