Lever Pulled Down

E
In this dead-eyed world
A                                 E
How long before they tell you how far you've come
                                 A
What do you have to make to make good
                                      E
And when can we raise the roof to the stars

[Chorus]
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
      E
I'm a flipped switch
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
                     E
From the fire in the air
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
                              F#m              B       C#m
And I've give my life for the lightning in our dreams

[Verse 2]
E
In this dead-eyed world
A                            E
You've got to keep your gaze steady and long
                            A
And when good fortune turns away
                    E
Be willing to go on alone

[Chorus]
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
      E
I'm a flipped switch
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
                     E
From the fire in the air
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
                           F#m              B       C#m
And I live my life for the lightning in our dreams

[Solo]
G#m    C#m    G#m    F#m
C#m    F#m    A      E

[Verse 3]
E
In this dead-eyed world
A                                       E
They say you'll never make it with only half a life more
                           A                              E
But love's electric raises up what the whole world leaves behind

[Chorus]
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
      E
I'm a flipped switch
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
                          E
And I don't know why it's so
                   C#m
I'm a lever pulled down
                           F#m              B         C#m
And I live my life for the lightning in our dreams
         F#m              B                  C#m
From the lightning in our dreams I live this life
