C#m                      A                         G#
Well I know you say now    "very well done, me old son"
G        F#                   G        F#        C#m
But it's hard you know, every day is a dark dark one
C#m                        A                        G#
'Cos my old friend's here,    tug tug tugging at my sleeve
G           F#                         G      F#      Bbm
You know he tugs so hard that he could almost make me leave

[Chorus]
Bbm                    Gb                   F   E
Light up your candles,     into the dark we go
Ebm                 E     Ebm
To be a good man is all I want you know
Ebm               G#                C#m
Light up your candles, 'cos here we go

It's a schlep this old life,    just one slip and you are gone
G   F#            G          F#       C#m
    Back into the void where you came from
C#m                          A                           G#
You can't light your own way    through this dark unholy place
G        F#              G     F#    Bbm
    With just one candle and a happy face

[Chorus]
Bbm                Gb                              F      E
So light it up now,    fill the darkness with your grace
Ebm                  E     Ebm
With just one candle and a happy face
Ebm             G#             C#m
Light it up now,    your happy face
C#m   F#        F    E         Ebm
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ebm             G#             C#m
Light it up now,    your happy face

It's too easy somehow,    just grit your teeth and let it go
G   F#              G       F#          C#m
    Last seduction, total destruction
C#m                      A                              G#
So what you gonna do now    with the good life you have found
G   F#                           G        F#     Bbm
    Grin and bear it 'til you're six feet in the ground?
