[Intro] Em Em7 C Cadd9 D Dsus2 Em Esus4 (x3) Em B5 G D5
Em B5 G D5
         This night will
[Verse 1]
Em  B5 G        D5
fall   like any other,

Em   B5       G         D5      Em   B5 G        D5
  Daylight subsides and shadows crawl   out from under,

Cadd9         Dsus2             Em   B5 G      D5
Black corners hiding something, stars,  all so restless,

Em   B5           G    D5
  Cracked windows open wide

Em        B5     G           D5
Dead-bolt turns, doors creak open,

Cadd9          Dsus2              Em
With stars and moonlight there to guide.
[Chorus]
Em                             Cadd9
Come raise your lantern to the sky,

       D               Em
Can we illuminate this night?

                                   Cadd9
We'll dance like heathens 'round a flame,

                D             Em   B5 G D5
While the world sleeps we are awake.
Em B5 G [Verse 2]
               Em    B5   G       D5
The black bird calls,  it sings a chorus,

Em      B5          G       D5              Em  B5 G       D5
  While the cavalry swells, the flames grow tall   right before us.

Cadd9           Dsus2            Em     B5      G     D5
  As drums keep pounding and the masses now are fusing,

Em     B5          G      D5
Bodies pressed and tangled,

      Em    B5    G5     D5
As we revel in confusion,

    Cadd9       Dsus2
Our inhibitions thrown into the fire.
[Chorus]
Em                             Cadd9
Come raise your lantern to the sky,

       D               Em
Can we illuminate this night?

                                   Cadd9
We'll dance like heathens 'round a flame,

                D             Em
While the world sleeps we are awake.
[Bridge] D5 Em D5 A5 G D Em D5 Em D5 (x2) A5 G D [Verse 3]
Em                 D5 Edim
  Here in the dark we are safe from the judgement,

D5 A                 D5    G         D
     Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in

Em                 D5 E7
The Heaven-sent say: "child, you are hellbent"

D5 A                            G      Dsus2              Em  Em7 Em
    But Hell is not where we're going, Hell's where we've been
[Chorus]
Em                  Em7 Em     C Cadd9 C
Come raise your lantern to the sky,

           D              Em Em7 Em
And let's illuminate this night,

Em                    Em7 Em         C Cadd9 C
We'll dance like heathens 'round a flame,

          D                   Em
While the world sleeps we are awake.

Em                        Cadd9
Raise your lantern to the sky,

          D               Em
And let's illuminate this night,

                                       Cadd9
We'll dance like heathens 'round the flames,

                D             Em
While the world sleeps we are awake.
[Outro]
Em                         Cadd9
               Yeah we are awake,
(Raise your lantern to the sky)
D         Em
  We are awake,

Em                         Cadd9
               Yeah we are awake,
(Raise your lantern to the sky)
        D
We are awake,

                 Em
Yeah we are awake.
