Snow Patrol - Light Years: chords

D            A              E
I just want my heart to beat
D                 A                     E
So when will you make your way to see me
D            A           E
What's your secret anyway
                    D    A                E
'Cause my light is fading on empty streets
           D      A              E
I light a torch to catch your eye

Bright lights in time of darkness
Incandescent, uncompared
You could be two meters away from me
But it seems light years sometimes, dear
But even distant, I'm with you

Chorus:
     A                                     E
The sun shines brighter now, the skies are empty
         A                                E
And the loudest bird songs fill us up again
                    D
We love their noise
    A
Applause on door steps swells like
               E
Sunday church bells
     A
The sound of seas and gravel roads
       E                   D
They cheer us back to earth

I know you like my hometown
And you're still cool within the fire
Watching nothing become everything
The distance from you feels so close
Safe is where you are tonight

Chorus
