Intro:    G   Em    Am    D
G   Em   Am    D

G                  Em
Brighter Venus, brighter star
Am                    D
Brighter genius, brighter guitar
G                  Em
Brighter candle, brighter flame
Am                           D
Brighter scandal, brighter in fame

G                           Em
I stepped in for a little while,
 Am             D
wondered to the floor
G                      Em
I wonder off a little while
Am                D
expecting to be caught

G                     Em
Brighter goddess, brighter hate
Am                            D                              
Brighten and bless curse nature and fate
G                   Em
Brighter criminal, I hope you escape
Am                 D
Brighter mineral, illuminate

G               Em
I stepped in for a little while,
  Am               D 
And learned a host of sins
G              Em
I wonder off a little while
Am              D
'cause you can never win

B       Am
Her eyes moved to Thee
B                Am
All Eyes aren't born free
B                Am
All eyes want to see
B       Am       D   G   D
Incinerate me, angel  

G   Em   Am   D    G   Em   Am   D  (** repeat)

G                 Em
Brighter Amber, brighter Mark
          Am        D
Brighter Catherine, brighter Clark
  G                    Em         
Brighter Katie, brighter Joel
Am                 D     
Brighter Gaby, fire aglow 

G                  Em
I stopped in for a little while
 Am         D
And threw in the evidence 
G                   Em
I wondered there for a little while
Am                      D
There's secrets in the wind

G                Em
Brighter nitwit, brighter cask
Am                D
Brighter dimwit, brighter my ass
G                     Em
Brighter Sid Vicious, brighter night sky
Am                  D
Brighter housewife, I hope you all die

G                   Em
Brighter, brighter flame aglow
Am                  D
Brighter, brighter, you ought to know
G           Em       A       D        B
It burns, it burns, nitwit brighter
