[D] Some people [C]think think they have [G]none they might as well [Em]stay down
[D] Running in [C]circles like bulls in a [G]ring 'Til the sword finds it's [Em]way down
While the [Am]creep beats the rap on [Em]appeal and the [Am]cop who can't stop shows the [C]kids how to [D]steal
(CHORUS)
And we [Em]all need some [G]light [D]now [C] we all need some [G]light [D]now
Yes, we [Em]all need some [G]light [D]now [C] turn on your [G]light and wash the [D]darkness a[Em]way
[D] Hey you on the [C]brink Waiting to [G]fall to become human [Em]surplus
[D] The movie's still [C]shooting you might still get the [G]roll and man it's all just a [Em]circus
But the [Am]clown left town long [Em]ago [Am]maybe he'll come back and [C]give us a [D]show
(CHORUS)
