B                              E/G#
I don’t have to mention that I saw you today
G                         B
I shone the sun into your eyes
B
And you don’t always have to question
               E/G#
why there’s pleasure in pain
G                                B
Cos there’s no truth for you to find

I'm drawing perfect circles
'Round the life that we could share
And what is ours is ours to keep
I know the thing you want the most
You hide it over there
Safe at the dark end of the street

Chorus:
B
When the devil's waiting
D            A             E
Down by the river calling out
                       D            A
I wanna be the one to light up the dark in you
And when the flood is over
And all the love is pouring out
I wanna be
The one to light up the dark in you
Light up the dark in you
Light up the dark in you
La-light up the dark in you

There's so little I'm afraid of
When it comes to an end
But I can't leave you on your own
When your chaos turns to silence
And your enemy's your friends
I will roll away the stone

Chorus

Light up the dark in you
Light up the dark in you
La-light up the dark in you

When the devil's waiting
Down by the river calling out
I wanna be
The one to light up the dark in you
And when the flood is over
And all the love is pouring out
I wanna be
The one to light up the dark in you

Chorus:
And when the devil's waiting
Down by the river calling out
I wanna be
The one to light up the dark in you
And when the flood is over
And all the love is pouring out
I wanna be
The one to light up the dark in you
Light up the dark in you
Light up the dark in you
La-light up the dark in you

Light up the dark in you
