Life Is Looking Up

A
Could this be the day I have waited 
for
When all my hard work doesn't go 
  D
ignored?

Maybe she was right, they will 
realize
I can change the world, open up 
      A
their eyes

They know I am more than some eager 
blood
Not some average bones, I believe in
 D
 love

I just want to prove I deserve this 
gift
I will change this world, baby this 
   A
is it

A

[Verse 2]
A
I can see it now, all the colors 
smear
Up and down the page, but the shapes
     D
 are there

I will build the lamps in this 
reverie
Then they'll understand this was 
          A
meant for me

This is my fate

I can almost hear them say

[Chorus]
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine

Let them burn so bright
Bm   G       A
Open all our eyes, shower us in 
light
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine

Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade

Flood it through my blood

Breathe it through my lungs

Give us all your love

A  D  G

                   Bm

[Verse 4]
A
I can see it now floating like a 
dream

Right above my head
             D
Perfect symmetry

Lines in harmony
              A
I can see his face

When he sees the lamps

I can hear him say

[Chorus]
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine

Let them burn so bright
Bm   G       A
Open all our eyes, shower us in 
light
D       G       A
Let the lamps shine

Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade

Flood it through my blood

Breathe it through my lungs

Give us all your love

[Bridge]
D                    A
Dream with your eyes closed
        Em               D
Try and pluck the pearls from your 
bones
Bm                          
All the plans pirouette right 
  A#
through my mind become set
Em               D         F#
The lines become definite, glowing 
hues fill this vignette
Bm                                
Tall and proud, the lamps will 
   A#
stand built from these two very 
hands
D              Em       D
No one will be able to deny my 
skill, nor love for you

G                    A
Dream with your eyes closed
        Bm        G                
Try and pluck the pearls from your 
A
bones

[Chorus]
G       D       A
Let the lamps shine
Bm   G       A            D
Open all our eyes, shower us in 
light
G       D       A
Let the lamps shine

Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade

Flood it through my blood

Breathe it through my lungs

Give us all your love

A

C  G  F  Dm

C         G         F  Dm
You can't change me
C         G       F
You can't have me

C                              
The vision of the world had been 
          F
realized
But the sculpture of the Earth was 
          Dm
looked upon by jealous eyes
C                   G     
Ahrima refused to relent, he 
             Em
demanded to be heard
G                                 
"Let my unique deft hands be 
              Dm
known!" he asserted
                        C          
But even this brash avowal was met 
                       G
in return by no mouthful
Em
O simply just smiled
G                             
So, defeated and galled, Ahrima 
  F                      Dm
headed for the darkness
                           C     
No one seemed to understand. Only 
                          G
the shadows would hearken
                    F      
He sat in peace, but on his 
                  G
shoulder, at rest
                          Bm
Perched a dinky, brownish spider, 
named Barayas
