  			Intro: G 

                   C  G 
Light it up baby 
                     C  G 
Light up that fire 
                                   C  G 
I don't know what's gonna save me 
               D 
From the cold now 


 
          C                  G 
And these sorrows I'm crying over 
          D                  G 
And these sorrows I'm crying over 


            C  G 
Embrace me 
                                C  G 
Embrace me with your kind love 
                        C  G 
It's all I ever wanted 
           D 
All I ever dreamed of 


Pre-Chorus 
                C                      G 
And all of this dreaming of silver and gold 
                 D                   G     C  G 
Is something to break this winter so cold 


 
          C                  G 
And these sorrows I'm crying over 
          D                  G 
And these sorrows I'm crying over 


Bridge: 
                       C                         G 
We go straight for the thunder, straight for the rain 
              Am                     D 
Love leaves a mark and love leaves a strain 
            C                 G 
Back in the saddle again and again 
            Am                    D 
Millions of eyes and none of them friends 


       G                 C  G 
Better light it up baby 
                           C  G 
Better light up that fire 
                                   C  G 
I don't know what's gonna save me 
         D 
From the cold now 


 
          C                  G 
And these sorrows I'm crying over 
          Am                 C 
And these sorrows I'm crying over 
       G 
Crying over
