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
