[Verse 1]
         C                F
I want a life to remember,
                         Am                         F
All of the moments wanna hold ‘em in the palm of my hand,
                 C
I’m holding them tighter than ever,
        F                    Am     F
So that they don’t slip like sand.


[Verse 2]
             C                    F
And oh to my heart you’re a habit,
                            Am                   F
Something like beating like breathing in oxygen,
        Am
But the mind can be tragic,
    G                 F
And time makes you forget.


[Pre-Chorus]
C  F
Ooooh, say you’ll love me,
         Am            F
When the lights go out,
                         Am
When I’m standing in the darkest,
              G                    F
Corner of the darkness fading out.


[Chorus]
       C    F
‘cause I’ll love you, love you,
         Am            F
When the lights go out,
                     Am
When memories in the water,
                   G
Are ripples moving farther,
                F
Don’t you doubt.
F                      N.C.
I’ll love you when the lights go out.


[Verse 3]
               C                 F
I’m writing it down on the paper,
                         Am                     F
Making a record, like an archive of me and you,
              C
So when we’re reading it later,
      F                   Am     F
it’ll all come back brand new.


[Verse 4]
C                F
If life is but a dream,
                     Am
I’m scared of waking up,
                F
And losing everything,
                  Am
Or falling out of love,
               G
If I forget myself,
                   F
I know you know me well,
F
Enough to bring me back.


[Pre-Chorus]
C  F
Ooooh, say you’ll love me,
         Am            F
When the lights go out,
                         Am
When I’m standing in the darkest,
              G                    F
Corner of the darkness fading out.


[Chorus]
       C    F
‘cause I’ll love you, love you,
         Am            F
When the lights go out,
                     Am
When memories in the water,
                   G
Are ripples moving farther,
                F
Don’t you doubt.
F                      C
I’ll love you when the lights go out.


[Interlude]
 C
(Say you’ll love me when),
 C
(Say you’ll love me when),
 C
(When the lights go out).
 C
(Say you’ll love me when),
 C
(Say you’ll love me when),
 C
(When the lights go out).


[Pre-Chorus]
C  F
Ooooh, say you’ll love me,
         Am            F
When the lights go out,
                         Am
When I’m standing in the darkest,
              G                    F
Corner of the darkness fading out.


[Chorus]
C      F
Oooh,  yeah I love you,
         Am            F
When the lights go out,
                     Am
When memories in the water,
                   G
Are ripples moving farther,
                F
Don’t you doubt.
F                      N.C.
I’ll love you when the lights go out.
