Verse 1:

E MajorE              A augmentedA
  As always I stop to speak
                E MajorE
Some girls like to say their piece

As always I turn to you
BB                   A augmentedA
  Don't understand what you're doing and

Chorus:

E MajorE        A augmentedA
 Light up this town
           E MajorE
Grow weary and back down

It's such an ama - zing sight

To be found

Verse 2:

E MajorE            A augmentedA
 Says the poet "I won't grass"
                   E MajorE
Some things are better left and not taken to task
G# minorG#m              BB
  I guess I knew she was a rose

She knows what hurts and how to hold
E MajorE                A augmentedA
 If your daddy he turned round
             E MajorE
Let the grass around him scream the sound
G# minorG#m             BB
  I'm so sorry for these tales you're telling

Sometimes you can't account

Chorus:

E MajorE        A augmentedA
 Light up this town
           E MajorE
Grow weary and back down
         G# minorG#m
It's such an ama - zing sight
       BB
To be found
           E MajorE
Little sister leaving town

Verse 3:

E MajorE             A augmentedA
 And sometimes it's absurd
             E MajorE
A augmentedA minor triumph when you hear the words
G# minorG#m                 BB
  I'm just trying to stake my place

No real fears upon this face
E MajorE            A augmentedA
 And my wishes nobody says
            E MajorE
All the signs when I cross the days
G# minorG#m             BB
  I'm just holding back for you

Sometimes that helps too

Chorus:

E MajorE        A augmentedA
 Light up this town
           E MajorE
Grow weary and back down
         G# minorG#m
It's such an ama - zing sight
       BB
To be found
           E MajorE
Little sister leaving town
