verse 1  

Em      G                      D            C   
We go together like fire and dynamite when it blows 
Em          G 
Look out, look out below 
D              C 
When we touch, the world explodes 
Em                        G 
Every time you're near me I get hella overheated 
D                       C   
Try to live without you but your body heat, I need it 
Em        G                  D            C 
Ooh wee, darling, believe that I'll never let you go 


Pre-Chorus  

Em  G           D         C 
Even if you're afraid of the dark 
Em  G                D             C 
Let's be dangerous, surrender your heart 


            C        G 
All anybody needs is one light 
        D             C 
I'll be anything that you like 
               Em      G 
Call me if you need it tonight 
         D             C

All anybody needs is one light 
        D             C

               Em      G       
Call me if you need it tonight

verse 3  

Em 
I know you're not scared to love 
G 
But of not being loved back 
D 
Not afraid of heights 
C 
But scared of falling off 
Em 
Always on the run 
G 
Without every tryna look back 
D 
Sleeping with the lights on 
C 
Wish you could turn 'em off 
Em 
I'll be your knight in shining armour 
G 
Every night I'll fight the monsters 
D 
When you're dreaming 
C 
Watching the sky for flying saucers 
Em 
Hold you closer, rock you 
G 
Malcolm to the rescue 
D 
I'm your Superman and Batman 
G 
If they ever try to get you 


Pre-Chorus 

Em  G           D         C 
 Even if you're afraid of the dark 
Em  G                D             C 
 Let's be dangerous, surrender your heart 


            C        G 
All anybody needs is one light 
        D             C 
I'll be anything that you like 
               Em      G 
Call me if you need it tonight 
         D             C 
When you afraid of the dark 
            C        G 
All anybody needs is one light 
        D             C   
I'll be anything that you like 
               Em      G       
Call me if you need it tonight
