[Verse 1]
[Am]From a tender age,
I was [F]cursed [Am]with [C]rage
Came [F]swinging like a fist
inside a batting [E]cage
[Em]I went[Am] swimming with the devil
at the bottom [Em]of a l[Am]ake
And [C]he left [F]me there, but my lonesome
[Am]He was tall and mean,
with venom eyes [E]so green
[Em]Want[C]ed recon[F]ciliation,
but my tongue was [Am]in my teeth
I [Dm]couldn't find the floor so I
was kicking [C]with my [Dm]feet
But [C]they wer[F]en't there,
they were [Am]stolen
There is a light[F]house [Em]in
[F]the middle of the deep
[E]And [Em]I'm [Am]still standing on the shoreline
[Em]And nobo[C]dy hears[F] me scre[E]am
And [Am]I'll lure you like a landslide
[Em]And I'll[Am] show [F]you lovely thing[Dm]s
[C]If you[Am] rescue me,
then they'll [F]make be[Em]lieve
[C]In a light[F]house by the [Em]sea
I [Am]met a sailor on a ship with
promise [G]in his eyes
He [Dm]kissed me on the mouth and
dug his fingers in my [F#m]thighs
But [Am]a sailor ain't a savior
cause they [G]only tell you lies
So I [Dm]left him there till the [Am]sun rise
[F#m]Well t[G]he wave[Am]s were tall and
they were [F]crashing down
He's [Dm]lay ing in the water begging
God to let him down
So I showed him all my teeth
and then I laughed [C]out loud
[Dm]Cause I ne[Am]ver w[F]anted saving,
I just [E]wanted [Am]to be found
There is a light[F]house [Em]in
[C]the mid[F]dle of the deep
[Em]An d I'm s[C]till s[Am]tranded on the s[F]horeline
[Em]And nobo[C]dy hears[F] me scream
[E]And[Am] I will lure you like a lan[F]dslide
[Em]And I'll[C] show [F]you lovely thing[Em]s
If [C]you [Am]res cue me
But they'll [F]make be[Em]lieve
[C]In a [F]lighthouse by the [Em]sea[C][Dm][F#m]
[Am][G#m][Am][F#m][Am][F#][Am][G#5]
[F#m]Well that s[Am]hould teach a
man to mess with me
[F#m]He was never [Am]seen a[Dm]gain [Em]and
I'm still [Am]wandering the [F#m]beach
And [Am]I'm glad I[Dm] met the devil
[Em]cause he [Dm]showed me I was [F#m]weak
And a little [Am]piece of [Em]him isn't
a [Am]little piece of me
There is a light[F]house [Em]in
[C]the mid[F]dle of the deep
[Em]An d I'm s[Am]till stranded
on the [F]shoreline
[Em]And nobo[C]dy hears[F] me scre[Em]am
[E]I'll [Am]lure you like a landslide[F]
[Em]And I'll[C] show [F]you lovely thing[Em]s
If [C]you res[Am]cue me, let them m[F]ake be[Em]lieve
[C]In the [F]lighthouse by the [Em]sea
[Am][G][Dm][C][F][Em][C][G][Am]
And the [G]waves [Dm]go crashing do[Am]wn
[F]The new [Em]wave's [C]come crash[G]ing [Am]down
This new [G]wave's come
[Dm]crashing down[Am][F]
The [Em]wave's come [C]crashing [G]down[Am]
[Dm]Ther[Am]e is n[G]o ma[Am]chin[Dm]e that I
There [F]is [Em]no ma[Am]chine
that I [Dm]know [Am]of
There is no [Dm]machine that I know [F]of
[Em]Please [Am]come crashing down
