INTRO:
NONE
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
Em Am Em
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
Cadd9 D G
So light me in red and open my eyes
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
Cadd9 G
Tell me the truth, are we gonna survive?
Em Am Em
The doors have all closed on our runaway nights
Cadd9 D G
And I'm starting to get what forgotten is like
G Cadd9 G
But I know that I'm paying a reasonable price
G Cadd9 G
A solitary blip in a comfortable life
Em Am Em
A priority seat neither earned, nor denied
Cadd9 D G
So light me in red and open my eyes
INSTRUMENTAL:
G Cadd9 G
G Cadd9 G
Em Am Em
Cadd9 D G
BDA K:
D
It's obvious
D Em C
The universe's plans are often lost on us
D
We're losing faith
D
We're losing trust, yeah
Em C
And I could never say it enough
VERSE:
G Cadd9 G
So light me in red, I'm ashamed of my skin
G Cadd9 G
I know for a fact that I'm set up to win
Em Am Em
My gender, my race and my 'class' and my kin
Cadd9 G
My problems are nil in the grand scheme of things
G Cadd9 G
Oh it's real, and it's cruel, and it's here, and it's now
G Cadd9 G
I don't understand, but I understand how
Em Am Em
You can't rewrite the rules without tearing a page
Cadd9 G
No room for indifference in this day and age
G Cadd9 G
So from here on, a promise I'll keep 'til I die
G Cadd9 G
To open my heart, and to open my mind
Em Am Em
Step back from the edge of the aching divide
Cadd9 D G
To stand by your side, to stand by your side
Cadd9 D G
So light me in red and open my eyes, hey
CHORUS:
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
Em Am Em
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
Cadd9 D G
So light me in red and open my eyes
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
G Cadd9 G
Light me in red and open my eyes
Em Am Em
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
Cadd9 D G
So light me in red and open my eyes
