[Intro]
Em C G
Stole a key
Em C G
And took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
G D Am Em
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
Em C G
To set me free
Em C
I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
G D Am Em
I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me
[ Em C G G Em C G D Am Em ]
Em C G
In my scarecrow dreams
Em C
When they smash my heart into smithereenes
G D Am Em
Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete
Em C G
Be the cartoon heart
C C7M C
Light a fire, a fire a spark
G D C
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
C7M C
We'll run wild
Em
We'll be glowing in the dark
[ Em C G G Em C G D Am Em ]
We'll be glowing in the dark
[ Em C G G Em C G ...]
D
All the boys, all the girls
C D7 G
All that matters in the world
D
All the boys, all the girls
C D7 G
All the madness that occurs
D
All the highs, all the lows
Bm D D7 C
As the room a spinning goes
C C7M C
We'll run riot
We'll be glowing in the dark
[ Em C G Em C G D ]
[ Em C G G Em C G D ]
Am
[ Em C G G Em C G D Am ]
[ Em C G G Em C G D ]
Em C G
So we'll soar
C C7M C
Luminous and wired
C7M C G
We'll be glowing in the dark
