G#m F# E E

G#5  F#5   E   C#5 x2

Verse-

G#5         F#5         E            C#5
I had a way then losing it all on my own
      G#5         F#5                    E        C#5  
I had a heart then, but the Queen has been overthrown
     G#5               F#5          E            C#5         
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
    G#5              F#5        E               C#5
And I'm not keeping now, the strength I need to push me

Chorus-
             G#5                  F#5
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
     E                C#5
You shine it when I'm alone
         G#5              F#5
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
     E                    C#5
And dreaming when they're gone

G#5               F#5
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
E                 C#5
Calling, calling, calling home
             G#5                 F#5
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
     E                 C#5
You shine them when I'm alone

Verse 2-

G#5       F#5     E       C#5
Noises, I play within my head
       G#5        F#5               E            C#5
Touch my own skin, and hope that I'm still breathing
    G#5              F#5      E              C#5
And I think back to when, my brother and my sister slept
G#5            F#5          E         C#5
In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe

(Home)

G#5             F#5
Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights
E               C#5
Lights, Lights, Lights, Light
