[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

[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
