C
The night is deafening

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

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


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

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

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


        Dm
I don't want to know


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


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


        Dm
I don't want to know


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


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

C       Cadd9        G

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