Db
Come on, little light, you know my name
           Ab
It's only gonna break you in the end
Db
Nothing you could say could make it right
Ab
Only in the way of what you know
Bbm
Come on to the floor, you're brittle bones
  Ab                   Gb
Don't be a fool, don't let me go

                                   Db
And we danced in the dark on the stairs
           Gb                          Db
Like the people had pushed us out the room

Db
Come on, little light, you stupid thing
       Ab
It's only gonna hurt you in the end
Db
Nothing you could say could make it right
              Ab
Only in the way of what you know
Bbm
Come on to the floor, you're brittle bones
  Ab                Gb
Don't be a fool, don't let me go

Db          Gb
  And we danced in the dark on the stairs
Db            Gb
  Like the people had pushed us out the room
                              Db
And we kissed on the crowded stairs
            Gb                         Db Gb
Like we didn't know anyone was there
         Db  Gb         Db  Gb
It's nothing,  it's nothing
          Db  Ebm
It is nothing

And we kissed on the empty stairs
