 Seems somebody put out the moon
        Em
Now the road is a minefield
F         F                 C
 I can't follow the way she moves
        Em
I can't see past the shadows

Dm                    C
You make the darkness disappear
G                 Am       G
I feel found when you stay near

I know where I am when you are here

My way becomes so clear

When you're gone
     F          C
Will I lose control?

You're the only road I know

You show me where to go

Who will drive my soul?

I can't expect the hard curves
F           F
 There's no borders

There are no lines

How can I know where to turn?

You make the street lights reappear

How come I can never get the right words?

The things that I have to work out

I don't feel right

The Listening

The first single off of Lights debut full length due out in September. Saviour is a propulsive pop ballad that represents the essence of Lights. &quot;My songs are spawned from moments of sadness or intense emotion,&quot; the singer says. &quot;'Saviour' is a big example of taking one of those really dark emotional situations and turning it into something positive. I just happened to get hit with a really dark sad night. The melody started coming together and the words started pouring out. I was crying when I wrote the first line of the chorus and it actually sounds kind of like crying.

D               
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
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
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
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               
And break off the chains, and throw them away
               G         A
I just want to be so much
                  D                      
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
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
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                    
And break off the chains, and throw them away
              G      A
I just want to be so much
                  D   
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
save me

              G          A
I just want to run to you
                 D                    
And break off the chains, and throw them away
               G         A
I just want to be so much
                 D                     
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
           G                A
Sooner than later, I need a saviour
G                      D
I need a saviour

Second Go

[Verse 1]
C                             F    G
My mouth is frozen so I can't even speak
    Dm                   Am     G
What a disappointment, I had it perfectly
C                   F        G
What I was going to bring up suddenly
Dm                    Am        G
Stood like a stone as you stood quietly
Em                        Am
You're making it hard for me
Em              G
All I can do is freeze


[Chorus:]
Am              G              C
What I mean is, all I need is,
               F
Just a little emotion
Am                 G                Dm
Cause all I see is you not feeling
                     C       G
And you're giving me nothing nice
  F               G      F                 G              C  Dm G   Dm C G
I tried to do you right, why'd you have to go and turn to ice

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)


[Chorus]

Am
I'm looking at you looking at me, what can I do but say sorry
F
It's a little late but you know I just want you to be happy.
G                                                  C
What I got to say to make you let me get away with it this time.
Am
I know you're upset and that you're happy just to sit and hate me,
F
But I'll make a bet that you'll be better to forget about me,

Verse 1:
C
I could take steps in
this moon and that cloud
D
Look at my breath and

still feel the warm out
C
This isn't about seasons

Or about rhyme and reason
C
Trying to be smart but
my 0's and my 1's
D
Only show starts in 
G
my toes and thumbs
Am           G
Nothing adds up

"You" becomes "us"

It's a science but

In the riots I

find you and I breathe

Verse 1:
C      Am      Em        F
Well I guess I lost this round

The mountains have come down

I won't go where they go

Oh I'll be back around

The hits above the trees

Come all the tides and tows

We'll stand above the sea

Verse 2:

When we taste

We take another turn

With a better hand

  Rat race

Ready set go
My heavy steps slow

But I'm first at the finish line 
simply cause I never left home
      Em
I'm a rock man mega def
That's key treble clef
Am                   F
Leave better yet just be

How you get fresh
how you get free,
How you shake 'em

Flux And Flow

Am                       Em    Am
It's not a solid, not a soft thing
Am                          Em      Am
To pull the wool up like a smokescreen
Am                     G  Am 
Nobody does it like a prophet
Am                           G     Am
It's gone before you know you lost it
Am                               Em   Am
There are reasons you keep your hands tied
Am                                  Em     Am  
There's certain things you shouldn't have tried
Am                      G      Am
So if you gotta tell me something
Am                      G    Am
You better go from the beginning

F     G             Am 
  We all forget to sleep
  C                 F
And crash at someone's feet
G          Am       C
Everybody skips a beat
F    G             Am
  We let the chances pass
   C              F
The few we held so fast
G           Am       C 
Everybody breaks a glass

Am                          Em  Am  
And here I'm standing in the middle
Am                      Em    Am
Not just a little but a hill full
Am                    G     Am
Wondering how I got a head cold
Am                       G   Am  
Wishing I didn't know what I know
Am                       Em  Am
It's never been about the money
Am                       Em   Am 
We're worthy or we are not worthy
Am                     G     Am  
However much you got on your plate
Am                       G   Am 
You're as good as you reciprocate

F   G            Am     
We all pretend to keep
C                    F
Our tongue out of our cheek
G               Am       C
Everyone's the fool they seek
F    G              Am
  We all go off the track
   C                F   
And feel for our way back
G          Am       C
Everybody breaks a glass
F   G         Am       F
   Everybody breaks a glass

Am          Em    Am

Am          Em    Am

Am          Em    Am

Am          Em    Am

Am
Shook

Scared to look

At peers when they peer back
Em      Am
  It's weird how we fear that

It's weird how we wear a mask
    Em                          Am       
It appears when we fear our own tears more than tear gas

My team's struggling in years past
G              Am
Looking to draft beer to bring cheers back

But then the drinking game's finished
                      G   
No Guinness, just a clear glass
            Am 
Seeing our real image mirrored back
                                   Em
The places that we to cope, it's so strange
                 Am
When we're older folks it don't change

Trying to hang, we don't know the ropes
                   Em                         Am
When we fall we got more than our shoulders broke
    
It's no game

That's why we overdose on cocaine
G                     Am
Get our brains comatose, there's no blame

If you've ever known shame, known pain
      G                               Am
Known days when we really don't feel okay


F     G               Am
  Somewhere perfection lies
C                   F 
But not for you and I
G          Am       C
Everybody trips sometime
F      G                Am 
  When cities fall like shacks
C                F
Walls eventually crack
G          Am      F 
Everybody breaks a glass

Intro:

Silence: G-Bm-Em-D-

With Drums: G-Bm-Em-D-D/F#- x2


Verse 1:
Em   D            G
  If they take my hand
        Em
Will it be to burn me 
          D   G Am 
or to say amen
   Em
We beckon so we 
    D     G
can make amends
             Em
And with the same flip 

of the hand we 
      D   G      Am
curse our friends


Chorus 1:
G Bm               Em
  Where it's all a blur
D           D/F#
you are the hard line
G Bm          Em  D
  In the disorder you 
        D/F#
are the peace sign


Verse 2:
Em             D       G
  It's getting hard to know
       Em
If I'm on the tracks or 
           D       G Am
off the beaten road
     Em
When no truth
       D    G
ever easily shows
        Em
So I'll follow you no
             D     G Am
matter where you go


Chorus 2:
G     Bm               Em
  And Where it's all a blur
D           D/F#
you are the hard line
G Bm          Em  D
  In the disorder you 
        D/F#
are the peace sign
G     Bm              Em
  And when the riots stir
D           D/F#
you are the sound mind
G Bm          Em  D
  In the disorder you 
        D/F#
are the peace sign


Interlude: G-Bm-Em-D-


Bridge:
  G          Bm
I can't tell if they're 
Em       D
laughing at me or with me
G                   Bm
All these hints and subtleties 
            Em
they got me on my knees
        D           G(hold)
Begging for serenity


Chorus 3:
G     Bm               Em
  And Where it's all a blur
D           D/F#
you are the hard line
G Bm          Em  D
  In the disorder you 
        D/F#
are the peace sign
G     Bm              Em
  And when the riots stir
D           D/F#
you are the sound mind
G Bm          Em  D
  In the disorder you 
        D/F#
are the peace sign
G     Bm               Em
  And Where it's all a blur
D           D/F#
you are the hard line
G Bm          Em  D
  In the disorder you 
        D/F#      G(hold)
are the peace sign

Peace Sign

Intro: C/Em/Am/Fm x2

   C
I never meant to wither
   Em
I wanted to be tall
     Am
Like a fool, left the river
     Fminor
And watched my branches fall.

   C
Old and thirsty, i longed for the flood
  Em
To come back around
       Am
To the cactus in the valley,
        Fminor
That's about to crumble down

    F                B               C
And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
F                    B              C
Show me that your love will never change
F           B       Am    D
If my yesterday is a disgrace
F                  B           F  C
Show me that you still recall my name.

C                                  Em
So the storm finally found me and left me in the dark
Am                       Fminor
In the cloud around me, i don't know where you are
     C                                  Em
If this old world goes up in arms, all i can do is stand
  Am                          Fminor
And i wont fight for anyone until you move my hands.

     F              B               C
And wipe the mark of madness from my face
 F                   B              C
Show me that your love will never change
F           B       Am   D
If my yesterday is a disgrace,
F                B              F  C
Tell me that you still recall my name.

   Am            Dm
Oh here, in this shadow;
       G
Here i am
       Am          C      Am
And i need someone by my side.
        Dm
It becomes so
          G
Hard to stand
              C      G       Am
And i keep trying to dry my eyes.
C             D
Come and find me
         F
In the valley.

     F               B            C
And Wipe the mark of sadness from my face,
F                B                C
show me that your love will never change.
    F           B      Am    D
And if my yesterday is a disgrace,
 F                B             F  C
Tell me that you still recall my name.

     F               B              C
And wipe the mark of madness from my face
F                   B              C
Show me that your love will never change.
     F          B        Am.... D
And if my yesterday is a disgrace
F                  G-B              F ..C
Tell me that you'll still recall my name.
C     F                B             F ..C
Oh tell me that you'll still recall my name.

G
Maybe it's bricks and mortar now
Am                         Bm
Whether or not they run it down

I don't want anything 
              Am        Bm
to shake that shape away
G
No one told us which way to come
Am                  Bm
Nobody mapped oblivion

So I go growing roses in disarray

          C            B

Til my ghost fills the bed in

the soul from me


Refrain 2:

Not the sorceress

all my cunning

It counts me when it

In the chaos

It's around me in

I'm carrying it 
like a banner

Introduction: (C/G Em) x2

Verse 1: 
C/G                        Em
Here in the stillness, the quiet place
C/G                    Em
Where I'm lying with a down turned face
Am                       Em*    
You come and distract me from what's coming at me
C/G                       Em
Give me something to look forward to 
C/G                     Em
Truth be told sometimes it's only you

Am                      
Nothing is at stake here
Em~
When we are awake here

Chorus: 
F
It's you who brings the morning
  Am                             Em
And you who takes the sun when I sleep
G                                    F
You're the only one who stuck around for me                                
                   C/G                             Em
When I was losing, faith in what I thought I would be
G                                 C/G
You're the only one in the dark I see 
           Am              Em     G
The dark I see~ the dark I see

Verse 2: 
C/G                       Em
I know I lose my heart so easily 
C/G                     Em
Trying to only show the best of me
Am                         Em*
And I go into hiding, each time I stop trying
    C/G                        Em
Oh, you remind me of the little things
C/G                           Em
'Til I forget the part that's troubling

Pre-Chorus 2:
Am
And I feel so much better
Em~
When we are together

Chorus: 
F
It's you who brings the morning
  Am                             Em
And you who takes the sun when I sleep
G                                    F
You're the only one who stuck around for me                                
                   C/G                             Em
When I was losing, faith in what I thought I would be
G                                 C/G
You're the only one in the dark I see

Circle two lovers juxtaposed with doorways
Em*           C*
Broken window frames color

Romance Is

[Intro - 0:04]  C, F X2


C
Out across cities I see buildings burn into piles
    F
And watch the world in wonder as mountains turn into tiles
        C
And trees losing their leaves and their faces becoming tired
  F
I wish I could discover something that doesn't expire
         C
Come and stumble me


[Chorus]
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      C
Pull me in the undertow


C
Such are the things that make a kingdom rumble and shatter
    F
The same dynamic that another day would never matter
   C
It really just depends on who's giving and who's receiving
    F
And things that don't make sense are always a little deceiving
         G       F
Come and humble me


[Chorus]
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      C
Pull me in the undertow


  Am       F            C
I wanna go where you're going
  Am
A follower following
F
Changing but never changed
G                      F
Claiming but never claimed


[Chorus]
C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      
Pull me in the undertow

C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      
Pull me in the undertow


C
 Take me river carry me far
F
 Lead me river like a mother
C                           F
 Take me over to some other unknown
                      C
Pull me in the undertow

C        G
We had a rocket
     Em          C  G
That fell out of orbit
C           G
We couldn't stop it
   Em            C  G
We couldn't control it
C        G
We ran a good course
Em       C      G
It was a good flight
    C          G
But I felt the hard force
Em         C    G
Holding me too tight


[Chorus]:
       C       G        D
We are rockets in the sky
       C       G        D
We are planets passing by
C     G     D
Up up and away
   C       G             D
Forget me, go your own way


C           G
Sometimes a heart cools
Em        C      G
After the heat goes
    C             G
And sometimes the mind fools
Em       C      G
Only the body knows


[Chorus]:
       C       G        D
We are rockets in the sky
       C       G        D
We are planets passing by
C     G     D
Up up and away
   C       G             D
Forget me, go your own way


[Interlude]: G, D, G, D, Am, D


[Bridge]: 
G             D
Up, up, and away
              G
Up, up, and away
              D
Up, up, and away
              Am  G
Up, up, and away


[Chorus]:
       C       G        D
We are rockets in the sky
       C       G        D
We are planets passing by
C     G     D
Up up and away
   C       G             D
Forget me, go your own way
       C       G        D
We are rockets in the sky
       C       G        D
We are planets passing by
C     G     D
Up up and away
   C       G             D
Forget me, go your own way

Am   G  F   F
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Verse 1:

Am          G                    F
Maybe I don't say all the right things
           G            Am     
Maybe I stumble on my words
             G                    F
Maybe I laugh at all the wrong times
               G                                  
Maybe I mumble and I curse

Am                F                  G   Am
The last thing I want is to let you down
          F                         G
Cuz all that I want is to make you proud

Chorus:

    D                                   F
I can't explain just why I'm acting this way
          D                   G
I can't control it, so I go with it
  D                                   F                 
I'm just a girl, I won't be changing the world
            D                   G 
And boy you know that, I'm not perfect
         F      G     
But I'm per----fect, for you

Am   G  F   F
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Verse 2:
Am          G                    F
I know I don't make all the best moves
            G               Am     
And I know sometimes I get weak
                     G         F
But I know I've got nothing to lose
                    G
Maybe that's what you love about me


Am                  F          G    Am
The best I can do, is to be myself
                     F           G      Am F G
And hope it's enough to make you proud

Chorus

Bridge:
D                  F                  G   D F
When you're in the room, my head is clear
D             F               G   
You make the world just disappear
    D    F        G       D  F
So open up your eyes and see

                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

You're a liability

You're a little much for me"

[Outro]

You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice

I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo

Somehow we end up on the same side

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

Son, I missed my chance

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
