Light Me In Red

INTRO:
NONE

CHORUS:
 G                 Cadd9     G
Light me in red and open my eyes
 G                  Cadd9    G
Light me in red and open my eyes
   Em                          Am        Em
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
   Cadd9               D        G
So light me in red and open my eyes

 G                  Cadd9    G
Light me in red and open my eyes
                          Cadd9     G
Tell me the truth, are we gonna survive?
     Em                           Am      Em
The doors have all closed on our runaway nights
        Cadd9                    D         G
And I'm starting to get what forgotten is like

       G                     Cadd9       G
But I know that I'm paying a reasonable price
   G                 Cadd9        G
A solitary blip in a comfortable life
   Em                    Am            Em
A priority seat neither earned, nor denied
   Cadd9               D        G
So light me in red and open my eyes


INSTRUMENTAL:
G  Cadd9  G
G  Cadd9  G
Em  Am  Em
Cadd9  D  G


BDA K:
     D
It's obvious
    D           Em              C
The universe's plans are often lost on us
       D
We're losing faith
       D
We're losing trust, yeah
    Em                      C
And I could never say it enough


VERSE:
    G                     Cadd9        G
So light me in red, I'm ashamed of my skin
   G                      Cadd9       G
I know for a fact that I'm set up to win
    Em                      Am           Em
My gender, my race and my 'class' and my kin
   Cadd9                    G
My problems are nil in the grand scheme of things

         G                             Cadd9           G
Oh it's real, and it's cruel, and it's here, and it's now
   G                      Cadd9       G
I don't understand, but I understand how
           Em                        Am        Em
You can't rewrite the rules without tearing a page
   Cadd9                     G
No room for indifference in this day and age

         G                      Cadd9        G
So from here on, a promise I'll keep 'til I die
   G                     Cadd9    G
To open my heart, and to open my mind
      Em                       Am        Em
Step back from the edge of the aching divide
   Cadd9                   D             G
To stand by your side, to stand by your side

   Cadd9               D        G
So light me in red and open my eyes, hey


CHORUS:
 G                  Cadd9    G
Light me in red and open my eyes
 G                  Cadd9    G
Light me in red and open my eyes
   Em                           Am        Em
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
   Cadd9               D        G
So light me in red and open my eyes

 G                  Cadd9    G
Light me in red and open my eyes
 G                  Cadd9    G
Light me in red and open my eyes
   Em                           Am        Em
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
   Cadd9               D        G
So light me in red and open my eyes
