Verse 1:

E                            A
   As always I stop to speak
                               E
Some girls like to say their piece
                       G#m
As always I turn to you
B                                      A
   Don't understand what you're doing and

Chorus:

E                A
  Light up this town
                     E
Grow weary and back down
                  G#m
It's such an ama - zing sight
             B
To be found
                     E

Verse 2:

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

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

Sometimes you can't account

Chorus:

E                A
  Light up this town
                     E
Grow weary and back down
                  G#m
It's such an ama - zing sight
             B
To be found
                     E

Verse 3:

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

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

Sometimes that helps too

Chorus:

E                A
  Light up this town
                     E
Grow weary and back down
                  G#m
It's such an ama - zing sight
             B
To be found
                     E
