[Intro] F [Chorus]
Eb                       Cm
Ask the children what you wanna know

F                  Bb
Light the night for me

Eb                   Cm
Use the road when the prophets go

F                     Bb   C
Though your eyes can’t see (Though your eyes can’t see)
[Verse 1]
F               Am
I wonder why you crawl inside her

   Bb                 F        Fsus4  F
And back when you find no one

F                   Am
Alone and cried, you stayed to die

       Bb                 F
Working hard and having no fun

F                 Am
Rest your oars and drift ashore

       Bb               F
Let yourself let out and run

           F
Step us in, na na na...
[Chorus]

Use the road when the prophets go

F                     Bb
Though your eyes can’t see

Eb                     Cm
Sweetly filled from the tender well

Drink to all you need
[Verse 2]
F                          Am
I hear you cry while you’re preaching crime

      Bb                       F
To the ways love should’ve been done

F                Am
Be the smile, and open wide

         Bb            F
Lift your face into the sun

F
Na na na...
[Chorus]

Light the night for me

Though your eyes can’t see

Drink to all you need

Light the night for me...
