[Intro] C C C4 [Verse 1] C Am7 There's a crowd playing house and a host who won't stop chewing my ear C Am7 Can I open a window? There's hardly any air in here Fmaj7 C C4 Somebody's match lit cigarette smoke has made its way to your hair now Fmaj7 C C4 And I've just said some shit that'll linger in my head for a year [Chorus] C I keep looking at you, looking like that G Fmaj7 We're at a party we don't wanna be at Am7 You're throwing me a lifeline, honey G Fmaj7 Keep your lighthouse shining again C I keep looking at you and you're looking right back G Fmaj7 I'm stuck in the corner like I'm under the attack Am7 You're throwing me a lifeline, honey G Fmaj7 Keep your lighthouse shining again [Verse 2] C Am7 Would a tactical Irish goodbye be such an awful idea? C Am7 I'm consoling a stranger who's eyes are filling up with tears Fmaj7 C C4 Can't even sing along cause this bass has broken into my chest now Fmaj7 C C4 But just a half of your smile is a paragraph of what I wanna hear [Chorus] C I keep looking at you, looking like that G Fmaj7 We're at a party we don't wanna be at Am7 You're throwing me a lifeline, honey G Fmaj7 Keep your lighthouse shining again C I keep looking at you and you're looking right back G Fmaj7 I'm stuck in the corner like I'm under the attack Am7 You're throwing me a lifeline, honey G Fmaj7 Keep your lighthouse shining again, again, again [Instrumental] C C G Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 G Fmaj7 Fmaj7 [Bridge] C G I'll shuffle down the hallway till I'm catching your gaze Fmaj7 Cause I know that you're my person and my gap in the rain Am7 It's selfish but it's true G Fmaj7 I can't afford to lose my lighthouse [Chorus] C I keep looking at you, looking like that G Fmaj7 We're at a party we don't wanna be at Am7 You're throwing me a lifeline, honey G Fmaj7 Keep your lighthouse shining again C I keep looking at you and you're looking right back G Fmaj7 I'm stuck in the corner like I'm under the attack Am7 You're throwing me a lifeline, honey G Fmaj7 Keep your lighthouse shining again, again, again, again [Outro] C C G Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 G Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C C G Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 G Fmaj7 Fmaj7
