Am G
i’ll sing it one last time for you
Am G
then we really have to go
Am G
you’ve been the only thing that’s right
Am G Em
in all i’ve done .

Am G
and i can barely look at you
Am G
but every single time i do
Am G
i know we’ll make it anywhere
Am G Em
anywhere from here

chorus :

C
light up , light up
G
as if you have a choice
Am
even if you cannot hear my voice
F
i’ll be right beside you dear

C
louder , louder
G
and we’ll run for our lives
Am
i can hardly speak i understand
F
why you can’t raise your voice to say

Am G
to think i might not see those eyes
Am G
it makes it so hard not to cry
Am G
and as we say our long goodbyes
Am G Em
i nearly do .

chorus :

C
light up , light up
G
as if you have a choice
Am
even if you cannot hear my voice
F
i’ll be right beside you dear

C
louder , louder
G
and we’ll run for our lives
Am
i can hardly speak i understand
F
why you can’t raise your voice to say

verse :

C
slower , slower
G
we don’t have time for that
Am
all i want is to find an easier way
F
to get out of our little heads

C
have heart my dear
G
we’re bound to be afraid
Am
even if it’s just for a few days
F
making up for all this mess .

chorus :

C
light up , light up
G
as if you have a choice
Am
even if you cannot hear my voice
F C
i’ll be right beside you dear
