Chords: 
Am                         F    G 
I'll sing it one last time for you 
        Am          F   G 
Then we really have to go 
You've been the only thing that's right 
In all i've done. 
 
And I can barely look at you 
But every single time I do 
I know we'll make it anywhere 
Anywhere from here 
 
Chorus: 
 
C 
Light up, Light up 
          G 
As if you have a choice  
                   Am 
Even if you cannot hear my voice 
                         F 
I'll be right beside you dear 
 
Louder, louder 
And we'll run for our lives 
I can hardly speak I understand 
Why you can't raise your voice to say 
 
To think I might not see those eyes 
It makes it so hard not to cry 
And as we say our long goodbyes 
I nearly do. 
 
Chorus: 
 
C 
  Light up, light up 
          G 
As if you have a choice 
                   Am 
Even if you cannot hear my voice 
                         F 
I'll be right beside you dear 
 
Louder, louder 
And we'll run for our lives 
I can hardly speak I understand 
Why you can't raise your voice to say 
 
Verse: 
 
Slower, slower 
We don't have time for that 
All I want is to find an easier way 
To get out of our little heads 
 
Have heart my dear 
We're bound to be afraid 
Even if it's just for a few days 
Making up for all this mess. 
 
Chorus: 
 
Light up, light up 
As if you have a choice 
Even if you cannot hear my voice 
I'll be right beside you dear.
