Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree
Lightbulb Sun
The chord after the Asus4 can be skipped if wanted to, since it's just a detail in
the song. (in Verse 1 & 3)
Tuned 1/2 step down(Eb)
Intro:
G/C D/B A Asus4 A
VERSE 1:
G/C D/B
The sun is a light bulb
A Asus4 A
A candle's a treat
G/C D/B
The curtains stay closed now
A Asus4 A
On my little retreat
G/C D/B
And I'll only take medicine
A Asus4 A
If it's followed by sweets
G/C D/B
A sickly pink liquid
A Asus4 A
That puts me to sleep

A Dsus2 C5
My head beats a better way
A Dsus2 BB5
Tomorrow a better day
VERSE 2:
G/C D/B
And I can watch TV
A
While I'm wrapped up in bed
G/C D/B
And mother makes sure that
A
I'm watered and fed
G/C D/B
My best from school will
A
Come over and stare
G/C D/B
At me in my bubble
A
Of germified air
CHORUS 2:
A Dsus2 C5
My head beats a better way
A Dsus2 BB5
Tomorrow a better day

The sun is a light bulb
A Asus4 A
A candle's a treat

On my little retreat
G/C D/B
But after a while
A Asus4 A
The noise from the street
G/C D/B
Is making me wish I
A Asus4 A
Was back on my feet
