If we all light up we can scare away the dark
[Verse 1]
C
We wish our week days away, spend our weekends in bed
F
We drink ourselves stupid and work ourselves dead
Am C/G F G
and all just because that’s what mom and dad said we should do
C
We should run through the forests, we should dance/swim in the streams
F
We should laugh we should cry we should love we should dream
Am C/G
We should stare at the stars, and not just at (these) screens
F G
You should hear what I’m saying and know what it means to sing

[Verse 2]
C'
Yeah we wish we were happier, thinner and fitter
F'
We wish we weren’t losers and liars and quitters,
Am' C/G'
We want something more than just nasty and bitter
F' G'
We want something real, not just hashtags and twitter
C
It’s the meaning of life. and it’s streams live on youtube
F
but I bet Gangnam style still get more views
Am C/G
we’re scared of flying, and swimming and shooters
F G
but we’re all slowing dying in front of f****** computers
[Chorus]
C F
So sing, sing at the top of your voice
Am G C C* C/G
Love, without fear in your heart
C F
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
Am G C C* C/G
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
[Verse 3]
C
and the tv and papers, they fill us with fear
F
the icecaps are melting and Al-Qaeda is here
Am C/G F G
now every curtain twitching, suburban is scared of every man that’s wearing a turban
C
you see, the unknown breeds fear, and fear breeds hatred
F
and hatred is everything that darkness created
Am C/G
when it came in the night, and it strangled the hope
F G
so let’s open the windows and turn on the light
[Chorus]
C F
So sing, sing at the top of your voice
Am G C C* C/G
Yeah love, with all of your heart
C F
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
Am G C C* C/G
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
[Outro]
C F
Oh and sing, sing at the top of your voice
Am G C C* C/G
And love without fear in your heart
C F
Feel, feel like you still have a choice
Am G C
If we all light up we can scare away the dark
