Intro: 
Am F Em 
Am F G 
Am F Em 
 
verse 1 
F                    G                           Am 
It's where you live, but you don't know how it's built 
F                    G                             Am 
If we're just dust, then it doesn't matter who you kill 
F                    G                Am         G 
Don't cut me up and tell me that it's ok 
F                 Em                 Am          G 
Just turn it off 'cause I don't care anyway 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F         G 
It lit me up 
           Am     G 
It lit me up 
F          G 
It lit me up 
           Am     G 
It lit me up 
 
verse 2 
F                         G                  Am    G 
Something's stirring in a deep Atlantic trench 
F                         G                  Am    G 
Doesn't forget the thousand years before it slipped 
F                         G                  Am    G 
It's the beast, it's my heart, it's so brave 
F                 G                  Am    G 
Dive down into it to live in its head 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
F         G 
It lit me up 
           Am     G 
It lit me up 
F          G 
It lit me up 
           Am     G 
It lit me up 
 
F                              G 
It lit me up like a torch on a pitch black night 
Am                                            G 
Like an ember in the needles of a dried up pine 
F                             G 
Lit me up and I burn from the inside out 
Am                                      G 
Yeah, I burn like a witch in a Puritan town 
        F Em C Am G 
It lit me 
        F Em C Am G 
It lit me 
 
verse 3 
F                                       Am 
When I grow up I want to be a heretic 
F                        G                           Am 
I want to climb over the walls, cause I'm not on the list 
F                        G                          Am 
I want to put my hands to work until the work's done 
F                        G                          Am 
I want to open up my heart like the ocean 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
F         G 
It lit me up 
           Am     G 
It lit me up 
F          G 
It lit me up 
           Am     G 
It lit me up 
 
F                                 G 
It lit me up like a rag soaked in gasoline 
Am                                           G 
The neck of the bottle breaking right at my feet 
F                                  G 
It lit me up and I burned from the inside out 
Am                                        G 
Yeah, I burned like a witch in a Puritan town 
        F Em C Am G 
It lit me 
        F Em C Am G 
It was a good dream 
 
F Em C Am G
