The Lighthouse Song by Josh Pyke
The Lighthouse Song
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C F
And I've been getting urges late at night
C F
To walk and walk for days and throughout lights
C F
Through people's houses, picking food from plates
C F
Through people's gardens, picking locks on gates
[Chorus]
F Am G F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
F Am G Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
C F C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
[Verse]
C F
And I've been leaving gifts out in the woods
C F
That someone might stumble upon and wonder at their origins
C F
I've been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes
C F
The skulkers all moved on to leave the dark and empty den behind
[Chorus]
F Am G F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
F Am G Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
C F C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G C
I'll anull these little walls of attrition and these invocations
Am G
That's seen me holding my camera out at arms length
C Dm
To self-document these new locations
F
When I should be leaning against you
Am G
Deciding on things to get done
F
And you should be leaning on fountains
Am G Dm F
And filling my space up and breathing the air from my lungs
C F
Na na na na
[Outro]
F Am G F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
F Am G F
And we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
Our beams will burn the clouds to beacons in the sky
F Am G Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
Dm
The wind...
C F C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in

Lyrics-
And I've been getting urges late at night
To walk and walk for days and throughout lights
Through people's houses, picking food from plates
Through people's gardens, picking locks on gates
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
And I've been leaving gifts out in the woods
That someone might stumble upon and wonder at their origins
I've been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes
Whose skulk has all moved on to leave the dark and empty den behind
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
I'll anull these little walls of attrition and these invocations
That's seen me holding my camera out at arms length
To self-document these new locations
When I should be leaning against you
Deciding on things to get done
And you should be leaning on fountains
And filling my space up and breathing the air from my lungs
Na na na na
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
And we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
Our beams will burn the clouds to beacons in the sky
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
The wind...
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
