Re: Throw Away The Lights

Throw Away the Lights (Please Louise)  By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1



[G]Throw a[D]way the [Em]lights, [CADD9]the defi[G]nitions,



[G]And say [D]what you [Em]see [CADD9] in the [D]dark.




[G]No chains [D]of [Em] words,[CADD9]no false con[G]ditions,



[G] feel my [D] wild heart’s [Em] fire [CADD9] lit with just a [D] spark






Pre-Chorus



[Em] The world will [CADD9]try to name my [D] soul,



[Em]But I'm not a [CADD9] story that they con[D]trol.


.




  Whisper oh remember...




'






Chorus




[CADD9]I won’t be [D] caged by [CADD9] who they say I [G] am,



[CADD9] I’m more than the [D]lines that they [CADD9] draw in the [G] sand.



[CADD9] defiant and [D] different, [CADD9]I’ll make my [G] stands,




[CADD9]I’m just [D]the truth of my,[CADD9] my mind and [G] hands.


.




Verse 2


.




[G] Shadows [D]whisper [Em]names [CADD9]that they’ve [G]given,





[G]But none [D] of them [Em]can ever [CADD9]carry my [D]flame.


[G]I’ve fought [D]every [Em]day, the [CADD9] prison of their [G]chains



[G]And here [D]still I [Em]rise, [CADD9]proud and una[D]shamed.


.






Pre-Chorus


.





[Em] The world will [CADD9]try to name my [D] soul,



[Em]But I'm not a [CADD9] story that they con[D]trol.




.


  Whisper Just remember...


.






Chorus


.


[CADD9]I won’t be [D] caged by [CADD9] who they say I [G] am,



[CADD9] I’m more than the [D]lines that they [CADD9]draw in the [G] sand.



[CADD9] defiant and [D] different, [CADD9]I’ll make my [G] stands,




[CADD9]I’m just [D]the truth of my, [CADD9] my mind and [G] hands.




Outgo - Slow




[G]Throw a[D]way the [Em]lights, [CADD9]the definit[G]ions,




[G]And please Lou[D]ise, [CADD9]see me for who I [G]am


slower


Yeah, please Lou[D]ise, [CADD9] see me for who I [G]am.
