[Intro]
Am F C x2
[Verse 1]
Am F C
For a long time we were coasting on fumes
Am F C

Out from the frontlines with nothing to lose
F C
The world got longer, the world got longer
[Interlude]
Am F C x2
[Verse 2]
Am F C
Read an author, she was born in the sky
Am F C
Died not long after in the context of time
G Am
And in the middle she had a beautiful mind
F C
And it spilled over, it spilled over
[Chorus]
Dm C
Would you shine when you get up to fight?
Am F C
Would you win faster by dimming your lights?
Dm F C
We'll all get smaller till we all disappear
F C
If we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear
[Interlude]
Am F C x2
[Verse 3]
Am F C
We're always sinking, separate, and sore
Am F C
But deep sea mountains, how are they formed?
G Am
And do they too start to die from the moment they're born?
F C
The world is changing, always has been
[Interlude]
Am F C
[Chorus]
Dm C
Would you shine when you get up to fight?
Am F C
Would you win faster by dimming your lights?
Dm F C
We'll all get smaller till we all disappear
F C
If we hide how we're bright out of some distant fear
F C
Yeah we'll hide how we're bright, but it'll just be from fear
F C
From fear, from fear
[Interlude]
Am F C x 4
[Outro]
Am F C
We need your, beautiful brain

Your clever eyeball and your love for the rain

'Cause we've got a lifetime for pushing back against pain
F C
If something's pretty, let it be pretty
