         G                  A
I was a ferris wheel, in an empty
field where nobody goes
             G                      A
Had all the curtains drawn, sitting all alone,
feeling like a ghost

I was a broke down heartbreak
Badly in need
Of a little of love's electricity
A busted carnival ride
In the middle of the night
Then you flipped the switch
You turned on the show

Chorus:
              Bm       D
You light me up, like fireworks flying
        G
on the fourth of July
             Bm            D
You light me up, like the sunshine blazing
        G
in the summertime oh every time
              D/F#
You light me up
A                 G D/F# A
Baby you light me up

You were the missing piece
To my broken dreams
You're bringing me back to life
You look like a movie star
Just the way you are
Makes me burn inside

Yeah, it's dynamite
Finally finding a match
Baby, when you look at me like that

Chorus:
You light me up
Like the fireworks flying on the Fourth of July
Yeah
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Oh, every time
You light me up
Baby, you light me up
Oh, you light me up

Like New York City
On New Year's Eve
You light me up
All the dark days left when you came to me

Chorus:
You light me up
Like the fireworks flying on the Fourth of July
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Oh, every time
You light me
Like the fireworks flying on the Fourth of July
Yeah
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Baby, every time
You light me up

Baby, you light me up
Baby, you light me up
Oh, you light me up
You light me up
