Life Is Looking Up Cifras

[Verse 1]
A
Could this be the day I have waited for
                                   D
When all my hard work doesn't go ignored?
 
Maybe she was right, they will realize
                                      A
I can change the world, open up their eyes
 
They know I am more than some eager blood
                                     D
Not some average bones, I believe in love
 
I just want to prove I deserve this gift
                                       A
I will change this world, baby this is it
 
A
 
[Verse 2]
A
I can see it now, all the colors smear
                                         D
Up and down the page, but the shapes are there
 
I will build the lamps in this reverie
                                           A
Then they'll understand this was meant for me
 
This is my fate
 
I can almost hear them say
 
[Chorus]
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine
 
Let them burn so bright
Bm   G       A
Open all our eyes, shower us in light
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine
 
Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade
 
Flood it through my blood
 
Breathe it through my lungs
 
Give us all your love
 
A  D  G
 
[Verse 3]
A
They know I am more than some eager blood
                                     D
Not some average bones, I believe in love
                                    A
I just want to prove I deserve this gift
                   Bm                   A
I will change this world, baby this is it
 
[Verse 4]
A
I can see it now floating like a dream
 
Right above my head
             D
Perfect symmetry
 
Lines in harmony
              A
I can see his face
 
When he sees the lamps
 
I can hear him say
 
[Chorus]
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine
 
Let them burn so bright
Bm   G       A
Open all our eyes, shower us in light
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine
 
Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade
 
Flood it through my blood
 
Breathe it through my lungs
 
Give us all your love
 
D  G  Em
 
[Bridge]
D                    A
Dream with your eyes closed
        Em               D
Try and pluck the pearls from your bones
Bm                            A#
All the plans pirouette right through my mind become set
Em               D         F#
The lines become definite, glowing hues fill this vignette
Bm                                   A#
Tall and proud, the lamps will stand built from these two very hands
D              Em       D
No one will be able to deny my skill, nor love for you
 
G                    A
Dream with your eyes closed
        Bm        G                A
Try and pluck the pearls from your bones
 
[Chorus]
G       D       A
Let the lamps shine
Bm   G       A            D
Open all our eyes, shower us in light
G       D       A
Let the lamps shine
 
Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade
 
Flood it through my blood
 
Breathe it through my lungs
 
Give us all your love
 
A
 
[Coda]
C  G  F  Dm
 
C         G         F  Dm
You can't change me
C         G       F
You can't have me
 
C                                        F
The vision of the world had been realized
                                             Dm
But the sculpture of the Earth was looked upon by jealous eyes
C                   G                  Em
Ahrima refused to relent, he demanded to be heard
G                                               Dm
"Let my unique deft hands be known!" he asserted
                        C                                 G
But even this brash avowal was met in return by no mouthful
Em
O simply just smiled
G                               F                      Dm
So, defeated and galled, Ahrima headed for the darkness
                           C                               G
No one seemed to understand. Only the shadows would hearken
                    F                        G
He sat in peace, but on his shoulder, at rest
                          Bm
Perched a dinky, brownish spider, named Barayas
