Chords

'Light Years' from 'The Fireside Sessions EP' This one's mostly based on Gary's original version from the livestream, as the EP version only has guitar in the second half of the song. Mostly done by ear. The picking pattern is easy to pick up from the livestream. [Intro] Dsus2 A E [Verse 1]
Dsus2   A                  E
 I just want my heart to beat

Dsus2             A                      E
 So when will you make your way to see me

Dsus2          A            E
 What's your secret anyway

                   Dsus2   A                E
 'Cause my light is fading on empty streets

           Dsus2    A              E
 I light a torch to catch your eye
[Verse 2]
Dsus2    A                       E
 Bright lights in time of darkness

Dsus2  A                 E
 Incandescent, uncompared

Dsus2         A                      E
 You could be two meters away from me

                 Dsus2   A               E
 But it seems light years sometimes, dear

             Dsus2 A            E
 But even distant, I'm with you
[Chorus]
     Dsus2               A                    E
 The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty

         Dsus2              A                E
 And the loudest bird songs fill us up again

                    Dsus2
 We love their noise

    Dsus2               A                         E
 Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells

     Dsus2             A
 The sound of seas and gravel roads

      E                     Dsus2
 They cheer us back to earth
[Verse 3]
Dsus2  A                  E
 I know you like my hometown

Dsus2             A                   E
 And you're still cool within the fire

Dsus2     A                    E
 Watching nothing become everything

                   Dsus2  A            E
 The distance from you    feels so close

               Dsus2  A          E
 Safe is where you      are tonight
[Chorus]
     Dsus2               A                    E
 The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty

         Dsus2              A                E
 And the loudest bird songs fill us up again

                    Dsus2
 We love their noise

    Dsus2               A                         E
 Applause on door steps swells like Sunday church bells

     Dsus2             A
 The sound of seas and gravel roads

      E                     Dsus2
 They cheer us back to earth
