C C
The night is deafening

When the silence is listening
Fsus2 Fsus2
And I'm down on my knees

And I know that something is missing
C C
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in,
Cadd9 Cadd9 G G
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them.


C C
I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it,
Fsus2 Fsus2
'Cause I start losing my head

And then I get up in a panic
C C
Remember, when we were kids

And always knew when to quit it
Cadd9 Cadd9 G G
Are we denying a crisis, or are we scared of admitting it?


Dm Dm
I don't want to know


F F G G*
I just wanna run to you,
C C Am Am
And break off the chains, and throw them away
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
I just wanna be so much,
C C Am Am
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
Sooner than later, I'll need a Saviour
F F Fsus2 Fsus2
I'll need a Saviour...


C C
It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
Fsus2 Fsus2
I really hate it, but I know it's hard to chose if you're chained
C C
And when it's all you can control, 'cause you've got nothing else to hold
Cadd9 Cadd9 G G
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go


Dm Dm
I don't want to know


F F G G*
I just wanna run to you,
C C
And break off the chains,
Am Am
And throw them away
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
I just wanna be so much,
C C Am Am
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
Sooner than later, I'll need a Saviour
Am Am G G
I'll need a Saviour...


F F Am Am G G
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small,
F F
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall
Fm Fm
Save me

C C Cadd9 Cadd9 G G

F F G G*
I just wanna run to you,
C C
And break off the chains,
Am Am
And throw them away
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
I just wanna be so much
C C Am Am
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
I just wanna run to you
C C
And break off the chains,
Am Am
And throw them away
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
I just wanna be so much
C C Am Am
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Am7 Am7 F F G G*
Sooner than later, I'll need a Saviour
Fsus2 Fsus2
I'll need a Saviour...

About this song: Saviour

The first single off of Lights debut full length due out in September. Saviour is a propulsive pop ballad that represents the essence of Lights. "My songs are spawned from moments of sadness or intense emotion," the singer says. "'Saviour' is a big example of taking one of those really dark emotional situations and turning it into something positive. I just happened to get hit with a really dark sad night. The melody started coming together and the words started pouring out. I was crying when I wrote the first line of the chorus and it actually sounds kind of like crying.
