A                    C#m     D
Don’t you know I got all I need
A             C#m            D
Guaranteed to make you feel better
A                     C#m         D
See empty streets and blue blue skies
A                           C#m      D
I’m climbing high, I better cut the tether

A
Echo in the dark
C#m                  D
Lightning in my heart
A                  C#m D
Welcome to the world
        A
It’s an echo in the dark
     C#m
And lightning in my heart
 A                  C#m D
Welcome to the world

Chorus:
             F#m       D
It’s such a fucked up world
                             Bm E
But I’m glad we’re living in it
        F#m       D
Such a beautiful world
                         Bm E
I’m glad we’re living in it
                          A E D A E D
I’m glad we’re living in it

I know it's crazy
Are we ever gonna shine?
Don't know, but maybe
There will be the time
This sudden moment
We make it better
It's only now, but it will last forever

Echo in the dark
Lightning in my heart
Welcome to the world

Chorus

It's such a fucked up world
But I'm glad we're living in it
It's such a beautiful world
I'm glad we're living in it
I'm glad we're living in it

I'm glad we're living in it
