[Verse]
      E             A             E           F#m
I'll take you to a lake, in the heart of paradise
         D                   A     E  A
Take my hand, I'll open your eyes
       E              A
We can go down to the bay
            E                 F#m
Sit on the sand and watch the waves
           E                D
Watch them live, watch them die
 
 
[Verse]
        A            E    A                   E
Now the faint orange glow fades beneath the horizon
  F#m       D                   A  E
A million stars appear just for us
  F#m        D                A   E
A million reflections on the lake
  F#m     D              E
A million reasons I feel safe
 
 
[Chorus]
      A        C#         D
Every point of light is a lantern
      Dm             A
Every lantern has a soul
       C#         D
Every soul has a story
       Dm           A
That's aching to be told
        F#m           Bm
This is ours, this is now
        Dm             A
This is where we wanna be
      F#m               Bm
Ankle deep, splash your feet
        Dm           Dm6           A
Are you okay with it being you and me
 
 
[Bridge]
  F#m  Bm       D  E   A
Ohhhh, lanterns on the lake
  F#m  Bm       D  E   A
Ohhhh, lanterns on the lake

[Verse]
         E               A          E               F#m
I might steal that guy's boat, I'm sure he'll understand
   D                 A   E  A
I stole his boat for you
      E                  A
We'll drive the hijacked boat
           E             F#m
Out to the middle of the lake
               E                   D
We'll sing and laugh and dance and cry
               Dm  Dm6
As I watch you die
 
 
[Verse]
         A              E
And the faint lifeless glow
A                    E
Fades beneath your horizon
  F#m     D                   A    E
A million angels appear from above
  F#m     D                     A     E
A million memories lost in your eyes
  F#m     D                         E
A million reasons to break down and cry
 
 
[Chorus]
          A        C#         D
Oh, every point of light is a lantern
      Dm             A
Every lantern has a soul
       C#         D
Every soul has a story
       Dm           A
That's aching to be told
        F#m           Bm
This is ours, this is now
        Dm             A
This is where we wanna be
      F#m               Bm
Ankle deep splash your feet
        D            Dm            A
Are you okay with it being you and me?

[Chorus]
(G)    A        C#         D
 Every point of light is a lantern

Every lantern has a soul
       C#         D
Every soul has a story
       Dm           A
That's aching to be told
        F#m           Bm
This is ours, this is now
        Dm               A
This is where we used to be
        F#m        Bm
Silent weep, empty lake
               Dm               A
Should've been me who died that day
