Light Up The Night, off Act II. Listen here: http://protomen.com/lightupthenight/
Verse chords: Dm Bb G
Chorus: F Dm Bb C
Verse 1:
[Dm]This city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an [Bb]iron lung
Mac[Dm]hines can keep you breathing but what happens when you find a new [Bb]world's begun
[Dm] Flip the switch and turn it off, you won't be able to [Bb]breathe
So either way you're a c[G]asualty
Verse 2:
[Dm]I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but [Bb]gasoline
[Dm]And with this spark, it's gonna be the biggest fire they've [Bb]ever seen
[Dm]Comin' down, you'll never run, either way it's all gonna [Bb]burn
The only way that they'll [G]ever learn
Gotta turn it off?[Dm] Flip a switch
Chorus:
Light up the [F]night
There is a [Dm]city that this darkness can't hide
There are the em[Bb]bers of the fires gone out[F]
But I can still feel the h[Bb]eat on my skin
And this m[F]ess that we're in
But you and I[Bb]
[C]Maybe you and I[Bb]
[C]We can still make it r[Bb]ight
Maybe we can brin[C]g back the ligh[Dm]t
Verse 3:
At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down out on all there is
And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist
It's like they gathered up the City, sold it to the devil, and now
It's gone to hell and they wonder how
Verse 4:
We were men who would follow any man who would turn the wheels
Now the wheels are spinnin' out of control, what would they do if we held them still?
If you destroy the working parts what you get is a broken machine
A beacon of light from a burning scream
(Emily!)
Chorus:
Light up the night
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of the fires gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
And this mess we're in
But you and I
Maybe you and I
We can light up the night.
But we can light up the night!
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of the fires gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
And this mess we're in
But you and I
Maybe you and I
We can light up the night!
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
You and I ? maybe you and I ?
We can bring back the light!
There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
You and I
You and I
We'll bring back the light
