Tuning:

These chords are super easy and great for any beginner! There may be a few fancy runs or chords in there but these are the basics and perfect for singing along to. I'm using this video as a reference for the chords that Lights uses during acoustic performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-rDFMJJLbE No capo! Verse 1:

^GHere, in a familiar place We got our heads ^Cdown And we pretend its ’cause the night is ^Gdark And running out of space For us to run a^Cround But it's a dead end and money's tight

Pre-Chorus:

And i^Dt's been a ^Clong time of t^Ghis ^DSomething ha^Cs got to give

Chorus:

^GEveryone here is ready to go It’s been a hard year with nothing to show From ^Cdown this road It’s only ^Don we go, on we go ^GEveryone here is ready to go It’s been a hard year and I only know From ^Cdown this low It’s only ^Dup we go, up we go

Verse 2:

^GLet's get on another flight Maybe set out to ^Csea Pick it up and shake our fist at it ’Cause ^Gdeath is harder to come by Than it is to br^Ceathe When you got to make or break for it

Pre-Chorus:

And ^Dit's been a l^Cong time of th^Gis ^DSomething has ^Cgot to give

Chorus Bridge:

^G Nothing gives easy Easy gives nothing ^C I’m just trying to keep ^Dincome coming in ^G Dawn is bound to break When the night is done ^C Always darker days ^D Before brighter ones

Chorus:

Lights - Up we go
