[Verse 1]
[D]You need a little light in your life,
[Bm]a safety net so yo[D]u're not so bl[A]in[G]d.
Like hidden [D]torches in the
[G]pa per rounds of [A]old,
[D]And magazines so gently thu[Bm]mbed
by landing light[D]s.
When [A]you [G]were young as the [D]radio would
[G]talk you off to sleep[A].[G]
Although the arcades shine [A]bright,
they don't have [D]the glow of the city lights
[Bm]as t[D]hey [G]long to guide you home f[A]rom
time to [D]time.[G][D][A][D][Bm][D][G][D]
[A][D]
Neon lights and screaching[Bm]times
swarm like moth[D]s to pier [G]fires
[D]on the stretch [G]about a mile from hom[A]e.
[D]It seems a millon miles awa[Bm]y as we
were are walk[A]ing in the gaze
[G]of the green eyed monste[D]r on [G]the
banks of [A]waterloo[G]

[Verse 2]
Although the arcades shine [A]bright,
they don't have the [D]glow of the city [Bm]lights[A][G]
and they long to guide [A]you home,
you've got [D]to

[Verse 3]
get out of this [D]place, get out of this [Bm]place,
get out of this [G]place,
while your [A]still alive [D]Sam
get out of this place, get out of this [Bm]place,
get out of this [G]place, while your still [A]alive Sam

[Verse 4]
[D]Take some time then soon rep[Bm]ress
the thoughts [A]of walks in dungeness
[G]and the lighthouse keeper[D]
as he [G]keeps the boats [A]at bay,
[D]remembering this little light tha[Bm]t
shines [D]in westcliff[A]park Drive,
[G]a suburban lig[D]hthouse when you
[G]need to feel [A]safe.[G]
The city [A]tonight does not feel as [D]warm
as those winter [Bm]fires[D][G]
and its good [D]to be [A]home from time to time
