This is a beautiful song by lights, I fell in love from the beginning and I
thought I'd tab it for you guys:)
STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO
It's very important that you play the D and D/F# chords like this:
[D] [D/F#]
|---3---|-----3--|
|-2-----|---2----|
|---3---|-----3--|
|-------|--------|
|-------|---2----|
Strum with feeling, like a heartbeat.
[D/F#]
The night is deafening when the silence is listening
[G]
And I'm down and my knees, and I know that something is missing
[D/F#]
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
[A]
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them
[D/F#]
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan
[G]
Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
[D/F#]
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
[A]
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting
[G] [A]
I don't want to know
[G] [A]
I just want to run to you
[D] [D/F#]
And break off the chains, and throw them away
[G] [A]
I just want to be so much
[D] [D/F#]
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
[G] [A]
Sooner than later, I need a saviour
[G]
I need a saviour
[D/F#]
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
[G]
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
[D/F#]
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing left to hold
[A]
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting hard to let it go
[G] [A]
I don't want to know
[G] [A]
I just want to run to you
[D] [D/F#]
And break off the chains, and throw them away
[G] [A]
I just want to be so much
[D] [D/F#]
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
[G] [A]
Sooner than later, I need a saviour
[G]
I need a saviour
[G] [A]
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
[G]
Free my hands a feet and maybe I won't always fall...
[D/F#]
save me
[G] [A]
I just want to run to you
[D] [D/F#]
And break off the chains, and throw them away
[G] [A]
I just want to be so much
[D] [D/F#]
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
[G] [A]
Sooner than later, I need a saviour
[G] [D/F#]
I need a saviour
