Chorus

F Dm A♯ C

Verse 1

DmThis city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an A♯iron lung

MacDmhines can keep you breathing but what happens when you find a new A♯world's begun

Dm Flip the switch and turn it off, you won't be able to A♯breathe

So either way you're a cGasualty

Verse 2

DmI've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but A♯gasoline

DmAnd with this spark, it's gonna be the biggest fire they've A♯ever seen

DmComin' down, you'll never run, either way it's all gonna A♯burn

The only way that they'll Gever learn

Gotta turn it off?Dm Flip a switch

Chorus

Light up the Fnight

There is a Dmcity that this darkness can't hide

There are the emA♯bers of the fires gone out F

But I can still feel the hA♯eat on my skin

And this mFess that we're in

But you and IA♯

CMaybe you and IA♯

CWe can still make it rA♯ight

Maybe we can brinCg back the lighDmt

Verse 3

At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down out on all there is

And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist

It's like they gathered up the City, sold it to the devil, and now

It's gone to hell and they wonder how

Verse 4

We were men who would follow any man who would turn the wheels

Now the wheels are spinnin' out of control, what would they do if we held them still?

If you destroy the working parts what you get is a broken machine

A beacon of light from a burning scream

(Emily!)

Chorus

Light up the night

There is a city that this darkness can't hide

There are the embers of the fires gone out

But I can still feel the heat on my skin

And this mess we're in

But you and I

Maybe you and I

We can light up the night.

But we can light up the night!

There is a city that this darkness can't hide

There are the embers of the fires gone out

But I can still feel the heat on my skin

And this mess we're in

But you and I

Maybe you and I

We can light up the night!

There is a city that this darkness can't hide

There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city

And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light

You and I – maybe you and I –

We can bring back the light!

There is a city that this darkness can't hide

There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city

And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light

You and I

You and I

We'll bring back the light
