[Verse 1]
C F
I want a life to remember,
Am F
All of the moments wanna hold ‘em in the palm of my hand,
C
I’m holding them tighter than ever,
F Am F
So that they don’t slip like sand.
[Verse 2]
C F
And oh to my heart you’re a habit,
Am F
Something like beating like breathing in oxygen,
Am
But the mind can be tragic,
G F
And time makes you forget.
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
Ooooh, say you’ll love me,
Am F
When the lights go out,
Am
When I’m standing in the darkest,
G F
Corner of the darkness fading out.
[Chorus]
C F
‘cause I’ll love you, love you,
Am F
When the lights go out,
Am
When memories in the water,
G
Are ripples moving farther,
F
Don’t you doubt.
F N.C.
I’ll love you when the lights go out.
[Verse 3]
C F
I’m writing it down on the paper,
Am F
Making a record, like an archive of me and you,
C
So when we’re reading it later,
F Am F
it’ll all come back brand new.
[Verse 4]
C F
If life is but a dream,
Am
I’m scared of waking up,
F
And losing everything,
Am
Or falling out of love,
G
If I forget myself,
F
I know you know me well,
F
Enough to bring me back.
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
Ooooh, say you’ll love me,
Am F
When the lights go out,
Am
When I’m standing in the darkest,
G F
Corner of the darkness fading out.
[Chorus]
C F
‘cause I’ll love you, love you,
Am F
When the lights go out,
Am
When memories in the water,
G
Are ripples moving farther,
F
Don’t you doubt.
F C
I’ll love you when the lights go out.
[Interlude]
C
(Say you’ll love me when),
C
(Say you’ll love me when),
C
(When the lights go out).
C
(Say you’ll love me when),
C
(Say you’ll love me when),
C
(When the lights go out).
[Pre-Chorus]
C F
Ooooh, say you’ll love me,
Am F
When the lights go out,
Am
When I’m standing in the darkest,
G F
Corner of the darkness fading out.
[Chorus]
C F
Oooh, yeah I love you,
Am F
When the lights go out,
Am
When memories in the water,
G
Are ripples moving farther,
F
Don’t you doubt.
F N.C.
I’ll love you when the lights go out.
