[Intro]
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
No such thing as rock and roll
 
We just needed it to be
      Em
I was standing in the schoolyard
 
Waiting for you to happen to me
C
No such thing as a small life
          Am
You can't measure time in years
      Em
Every life gigantic, huge and romantic
 
Even greater than it appears
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
I wanna speak to the spirit
        G
You can feel it, but you can't fear it
      Am                                G
Be ye kings or queens or emperors of despair
          C
We're not arguing the toss
            G
We got some words for your boss
      Am
We're speaking to who speaks through you
       F
To the prince of the power of the air
 
 
[Verse 3]
          G
All these shimmеrs and these glimmers
 
Mirrors that must crack
        Em
All thе neon-fizzing flickers
 
We're grateful for some of that
    C
The fiction of a nation
    Am
The stories we don't tell
            Em
We need the light of illumination
 
So you can go right back to hell
 
 
[Verse 4]
       C
If the world is at war
   G
We better not be
       Am
If the world is at war
   G
We better not be
     C
Some lights are trying to blind us
     G
Some wanna help us see
     Am
Some truths are trying to find us
     F
Some lies won't let us be
G
No such thing as certainty
 
But I sing this without a doubt
  Em
A light has entered the darkness
 
No darkness can put it out
              No such thing as rock and roll
We just needed it to be
I was standing in the schoolyard
Waiting for you to happen to me
No such thing as a small life
You can't measure time in years
Every life gigantic, huge and romantic
Even greater than it appears

I wanna speak to the spirit
You can feel it, but you can't fear it
Be ye kings or queens or emperors of despair
We're not arguing the toss
We got some words for your boss
We're speaking to who speaks through you
To the prince of the power of the air

All these shimmers and these glimmers
Mirrors that must crack
All the neon-fizzing flickers
We're grateful for some of that
The fiction of a nation
The stories we don't tell
We need the light of illumination
So you can go right back to hell

If the world is at war
We better not be
If the world is at war
We better not be

Some lights are trying to blind us
Some wanna help us see
Some truths are trying to find us
Some lies won't let us be

No such thing as certainty
But I sing this without a doubt
A light has entered the darkness
No darkness can put it out
