Hey guys! These are the chords to 'Blinding Light' from Switchfoot's latest album 'Vice
Verses'. I'm not totally sure on all the chords as this song is very chordal, but I
noticed a need and I hope you have fun playing it.
Key: C
Verse 1:
C throughout
Hey boy, don't believe them, their old lies never could come true
Hey boy, don't believe them, everything that they told you to
Hey boy, don't believe them, we're the nation that eats our youth
Hey boy, don't believe them, none of us our bullet proof, yeh
Pre-chorus:
[F]Deep down there's a war[G] inside, a[F]sleep waiting for the sun to[G] rise
[F]Wake up, wake up[(G)]
Chorus:
Still looking for the [C]blinding light, still looking for the [G]reason why
Still looking for the [Am]sun to shine, take me [F]higher and [G]higher
[C]All my life, I've been living in the d[G]arkest night, still looking for the
[Am]blinding light, to make [F]higher and [(Fm)]higher
Verse 2:
[C]Hey girl, be yourself now, don't believe what they told you to
Hey girl, be yourself now, your skin's more than a pin up suit
Hey girl, don't conform now, No one else's got soul like you
Hey girl, you're a strong one, but none of us are bulletproof, yeh
Pre-chorus 2:
[F]Deep down there's a hope[G] inside,[F] you got wings but your [G]scared to fly
[F]Wake up, wake up,[(G)]
Chorus
Pre-chorus 3:
[F]Deep down there's a hope i[G]nside, [F]brighter than the[G] fears in my mind
[F]I keep looking for the [G]blinding light,[F] It's a hope that [G]keeps me live
[F]Wake up, wake [(G)]up
Chorus
Chorus (variation in lyrics):
Blinding light, blinding light, Yeah I've been waiting on my life, To take me higher and
higher, Blinding light, you're the vision that gives me sight, All the blinding light,
take me higher and higher
Hope you enjoy this - buy the album! John
