• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
    D
Hello, darling
      G     D
Ain't it a cold grey day?
      Bm       F#m
Maybe it's time I hung my boots up
    G    Gm
On the nail and walk away
      D        F#7
What do you say we kill good morning
     Bm  A     G D G
Like the liar that it is?
     D        Bm
Let the imposters jump for glory
      G
Let's just not and say we did

Verse 2:
     D
Alright, sunshine
     G       D
With the papers on your plate
     Bm        F#m
I see the sorrow in the headlines
    G        Gm
And the worry on your face
        D         F#7
I guess it's no fun to have a heart
       Bm    A      G  D G
While we are living through these days
      D       G
But there's still a lot of beauty
    D          G
Dancing circles 'round this place


Chorus:
            D
That's why we're gonna get up (Get up)
     G        D
Point our chin towards the sun
F#m                A
Say a little prayer and count our blessings one by one
   Bm       A
Don't hide yourself away
      G#m          G
Don't grow hard from what you've heard
     D           G
You gotta break your heart wide open
   A           D G A
Let a little light into the world
     F#m G A
Into the world


Verse 3:
      D
It's such a fine line
    G      D
Between faith and apathy
Bm        F#m
Pain can put you on your feet
  G           Gm
Or bring you to your knees
     D         F#7
If you're locked inside the end of days
  Bm    A     G  D G
And darkness pulls your mind
D         G
Bend the bars and hold the fire
  D      G
Let every corner shine


Chorus:
            D
That's why we're gonna get up (Get up)
     G        D
Point our chin towards the sun
F#m                A
Say a little prayer and count our blessings one by one
   Bm       A
Don't hide yourself away
      G#m          G
Don't grow hard from what you've heard
     D           G
You gotta break your heart wide open
   A           D G A
Let a little light into the world
     F#m G A
Into the world


Bridge:
F#m
What else can we do?
Bm
What do these years mean
   G        D       A
If we haven't got the answers anyway?
   Em
Do we see it to believe it
   F#7      Bm
Or believe it to be seen?
  A     G
Oh, ain't it a fight?
       A
Let there be light


Outro:
       D
Let a little light
       G       D
Let a little light into the world
     A
Let your light
       G
Let a little light into the world
  Bm      A        G#m      G
And sing into the darkness like a Sunday morning bird
D           G
Break your heart wide open
       A       D G A
Let a little light into the world
     F#m G A
Into the world
     D G A
Into the world
 F#m G A D G A
Ooh
ooh
 F#m G A D
Ooh
