[Verse 1]
Light up my lantern, I’ll cut you a path,
We’ve walked for hours and it’s getting dark
We left the roadside in search of aid,
Wind-screen shattered and tire marks made

I’ve never seen someone bleeding like this,
Rip off your sleeve and clench your wrist

[Verse 2]
I’ll light the stove and sit by the hearth,
Orangey glow light the wintry dark
We kept her bedroom exactly the same,
Winters they followed and Summers they came

He’d bash around, banging down on the floor
I sit alone with an eye on the door

– Strumming (Personal Preference)
Stop in this clearing, we’ll stay here tonight
Press up against me, I’ll hold you so tight
I got these matches, we’ll let off some smoke
Maybe they’ll see us and maybe they won't
Blanket of leaves hide the light from the stars,
I’ll lie awake listening out for cars

[Verse 3]
He stares through curtains when he talks to the night,
I sit and listen for tires on the drive
I keep on waiting and he keeps on talking
Just stop him talking, please stop him talking

– Just strum downwards here no upward strums
No, give me silence
Give me silence,
Give me silence
Oh, no…

One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh
One went out in an English park
One went out in a night club, when I was fifteen
Little lights in my heart

One went out when I lied to my mother
Said the cigarettes she found were not mine
One went out within me
Now I smoke like a chimney
It’s getting dark in this heart of mine
It’s getting dark in this heart of mine

We’re born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up, every time you feel love in your heart
One dies when it moves away

One went out in the back streets of Manchester
One went out in an airport in Spain
One went out, have no doubt
When I grew up and moved out
Of the place where the boy used to play

One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor
We used to fish and I fish no more
Though we will not return
I know one still burns
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore

We’re born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up, every time you feel love in your heart
One dies when it moves away

We’re born with millions
Of little lights shining in our hearts
And they die along the way
Till we’re old and we’re cold
And we’re lying in the dark
‘Cause they’ll all burn out one day
They’ll all burn out one day
Oh oh, they’ll all burn out one day
They’ll all burn out one day

They say home,is where the heart is
but my heart is,wild and free
So am I homeless
Or just heartless?
Did I start this?
Did it start me?

They say fear, is for the brave
For cowards never stare it in the eye
So am I fearless,to be fearful
Does it take courage, to learn how to cry

So many winding roads
So many miles to go

C G C Am F C X2

Oh they say love is for the loving
Without love maybe nothing is real
So am I loveless or do I just love less
Oh since love left
I have nothing left to fear

So many winding roads
So many miles to go

When I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I’m a brick in a wall
who runs down from the hillside to the sea
when I start feeling that it’s gone too far
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they’re staring back at me X3

He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait
Cut priced to clear a past to ’sell by date’
He’ll be fool running through the church screaming out ‘it’s not too late’
When he does, I know that you’ll wait

He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong
He’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along
And he’ll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
But I know you’ll love him strong

So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in
I’m just craving for a love I never knew

(INTRO TO CHORUS)
Please don’t go mistreating me
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me
Just not needing me the way that I need you

(INTRO)

He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks
But you dream about him every two weeks
I wouldn’t know his name, but you call it in your sleep
Oh I know you love him deep
So run back to him like you should
I guess I always knew that you would
For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could
So go on and love him good

So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in
I’m just craving for a love I’ve never knew
(INTRO TO CHORUS)
I’m the stray cat you keep feeding
You’re the book I can’t stop reading
But the tides are receding that it’s true
(INTRO TO CHORUS)
So please don’t go mistreating me
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me,
Just not needing me the way that I need you
(STRUM ONCE)

Just not needing me the way that I need you

Well the sky’s turning purple

Above the community centre

And I’m sitting in a circle,

Telling my secrets to strangers

And they say I’ve got a problem

But I don’t know that I’ve got one

‘Cause you never know that you’ve got one

‘Til someone comes along and spots one

They say it’s the hardest step

But it’s the first one of many

And my feet are stuck to the ground

And I can’t seem to take any

I could tell them I just came

For the free cup of tea and the biscuit

And make my way towards the door

But I don’t think I can risk it

’Cause I never wanted to stay,
But the morning came so soon

And we all know the words,
But we just sing them out of tune

’Cause I had my first drink when I was fourteen,

And I knew that I was in trouble

‘Cause I woke up the next morning

With my face down in the rubble

And everyone was drinking singles

I pour myself a double,

I just needed a little bit more

And now I’m sitting here with my name badge

And I’m listening to the same sad stories

About their old dads,

Who’re making all the same

Bad turning’s at their crossroads

And drowning all their sorrows,

Without any lifeguard around

Oh no, I never wanted to stay,
But the morning came so soon

And oh, we all know the words,
But we just sing them out of tune

And oh, oh no

Am – F – C – C x 2

And the sky’s turning dark

So we step out into the car-park

And I see you all same place, same time next week

But before we go our separate ways

Theres just one thing I’d like to say is,
mute
Anybody up for a drink

Intro:

F – C – G – C x2

Well wood burns, and metal rusts,
So, darling, what’s to become of us,
When the weather turns, and they say it must,
Well we’ll need coats for the both of us,
But the wool is thin and it’s full of holes,
And there’s no heat in this abandoned bus,
So will we go alone, out on our own,
Oh, darling, what’s to become of us

F – C – G – C x2

Well, boats sink into the sea,
And airplanes that crash like computer screens,
And signals fail, trains derail,
And car bonnets crumple like magazines,

’Til they’re put in piles like stacks of tiles,
In a yard full of fridges and broken stuff,
Will we go alone out on our own,
Oh, darling, what’s to become of us

F – C – G – C x2

We will bite our noses off to spite our faces,
F C (F C G C rapidly)
Both of us will rust like metal fences in the rain,
You will pour the gasoline and I will spark the matches,
We will burn within our fire, we will burn within our flames

F – C – G – C x2

Well yeast ferments and milk sours,
When it’s out of the fridge for too many hours,
Well we lament in separate towers,
Never knowing if we’re brave or if we’re cowards,
For they pour cement down this hole of ours,
And we’ll be stuck under stones and flowers,
Will we go alone out on our own,
Oh, darling, that’s what will become of us

Here’s a simple song
Won’t stop the rain from coming down
Or your heart from breaking
Here’s a simple song
It’s never gonna turn this day around
Stood the earth from shaking
It’s just a simple song
Nothing right or wrong
You can sing along if you want to
 
Well, I know it’s not bein’ easy
But easy ain’t worth singin’ about
Yeah, I know, I know
The time goes slow
But it always running out
 
Here’s a simple song
Won’t stop the rain from coming down
Or your heart from breaking
Here’s a simple song
It’s never gonna turn this day around
Stood the earth from shaking
It’s just a simple song

You can sing along if you want to
 
Well, I know it’s not bein’ easy

F, C, F, C, F, C, G, Am, F, C

Well I’ve got open eyes
And an open door
But i don’t know what i’m searching for
I should know by now

See i’ve a big old heart
This i know for sure
But i don’t know what my love is for
I should know by now

F, Am-G, C, F…
F, C, F, C

And i wait in line
So i can wait some more
‘Till i can’t remember what i came here for
But i can’t leave now
Cause i’ve a light that shines
And a love so pure
But i don’t know what to use them for
I should know by now

(strumming)
F, Am, G, C, F (x4)
F Well i spent my money
I lost my friends
I broke my mobile phone
3am and i’m drunk as hell
And i’m dancing on my own
Taxi-cabs aint stopping and i dont know my way home
Well it’s hard to find a reason when all you have is doubts
Hard to see inside yourself when can’t see your way out
Hard to find the answers when the question won’t come out

Everyone’s filling me up with noise i don’t know what they’re talking about (x3)

See all i need is a whisper in a world that only shouts

(picking)
F, C, F, C, F, C, G…

We used to never say never
Used to think we’ll live forever
Flying free beneath the sun.
Days go running and hiding
The weeks go slipping and sliding,
Years leave quicker every time they come
Remember when we were young
