[Verse 1]
E                  Asus2
You barge into the room
       E                    Asus2
With a smile as big as your head
    E           Asus2
You had a conversation
        E               Asus2
And you told me what he said
Bsus            Asus2        E Asus2
Bouncing like a monkey on my bed
Bsus            Asus2        E Asus2
Bouncing like a bunny on the bed


[Verse 2]
        E             Asus2 
At your grandmother’s house 
       E                  Asus2
In the lightening by the shore
   E              Asus2
We put down our umbrellas
        E                  Asus2
And you quickly closed the door
    Bsus                  Asus2       E Asus2
You cross the room with a candle in a jar
Bsus                Asus2             E Asus2
No one thought that we would get this far


[Chorus]
    F#m                E
But something’s taking over
          Bsus          E
There’s a light in your eyes
F#m                E
Something’s taking over
          Bsus         E
Here’s to light in our eyes
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired


[Verse 3]
        E       Asus2  
In a mysterious room
     E                    Asus2 
In a strange house in the hills
E               Asus2 
Lots of plastic lizards scattered
E             Asus2
On the window sill
        Bsus           Asus2              E Asus2
You’re laughing in the dark right next to me
  Bsus            Asus2        E Asus2
I wonder who else I can try to be

 
[Chorus]
    F#m                E
But something’s taking over
          Bsus          E
There’s a light in your eyes
F#m                E
Something’s taking over
          Bsus         E
Here’s to light in our eyes
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
             Bsus              D G D G D G D G
It’s getting light but I’m not tired


[Verse 4]
       E                Asus2  
In the lounge there’s a piano
     E                   Asus2  
That no one’s played for years
      E              Asus2  
You remind me to be quiet
       E                 Asus2  
So you boyfriend doesn’t hear
     Bsus              Asus2            E Asus2
It’s getting light but I’m not tired at all
     Bsus              Asus2            E Asus2
It’s getting light but I’m not tired at all


[Chorus]
    F#m                E
But something’s taking over
          Bsus          E
There’s a light in your eyes
F#m                E
Something’s taking over
          Bsus         E
Here’s to light in our eyes
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
             Bsus              E
It’s getting light but I’m not tired
