Intro: G 

verse 1 
G                  C            G 
I’ve got a little darkness in my heart 
G                                 D 
I know one day the world will fall apart 
D                                C              Am 
But until it falls to pieces and there’s fire in the sky 
G             C               G      F       C7M 
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine, shine, shine

I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine 

verse 2

I’ve got a little darkness in my soul 
G                                  D 
No Jesus, pills, or whisky fills the hole 
D                                 C        Am 
I’ll light another fire so the world will burn all night

I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine, shine, shine

I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine 

G 
I want to shine like the moon at night 
C                      G 
I’ll be a million candles 
G 
That guide your weary footsteps 
D 
And keep you safe from harm 
G 
And if my light should falter 
C                         G 
You’ll bury me in the ground 
G 
And guide me through the darkness 
D                        G 
Till death it comes around 

verse 3 
G                         C            G 
There’s a darkness on the broken side of town 
G                                D 
At midnight when the devils come around 
D                              C                  Am 
I’ll light us both a fire and I’ll take you through the night 
G             C               G         F        C7M 
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine, shine, shine 
G             C                       G 
I’m gonna take my heart and let it shine 

G 
I want to shine like the moon at night 
C                      G 
I’ll be a million candles 
G 
That guide your weary footsteps 
D 
And keep you safe from harm 
G 
And if my light should falter 
C                         G 
You’ll bury me in the ground 
G 
And guide me through the darkness 
D                         G 
Till death it comes around
