              A               E
I'll be the place you run to hide
      B                    C#m
The heart when you need a fight
               A                     E                 B
A flickering flame when you need to light all of your nights
            A                   E
If gravity fails, you start to fall
                   B                     C#m
I'll be there to catch you if I have to crawl
                 A                         E
I'll color your world when you're feeling dull
              B
I'll paint it all

           A                  E
Yeah, the walls you build to hide behind
       B                C#m
I'll break 'em down to pieces
 A                  E
Secrets you can't spill in time
      B
I'll make it so you're singing

Chorus:
A         E      B
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
               C#m
This gotta be living right
A          E     B
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
             C#m
The rhythm is so in time
  A                 E
Sparks ignite like kerosene
  B              C#m
Writing out our history
A         E      B
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
               C#m
This gotta be living right, yeah

I'll be the sun chasing your clouds
The truth when you're feeling down
The faith that you need when you're running out,
I'll be devout
All of the waves crashing the shore
I will protect you from all that and more
If love is a battle raging forth,
I'm winning the war

Yeah, the walls you build tonight behind
I'll break 'em down to pieces
Secrets you can't spill in time
I'll make it so you're singing

Chorus:
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
This gotta be living right
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
The rhythm is so in time
Sparks ignite like kerosene
Writing out our history
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
This gotta be living right

            A                  E
Heaven can wait we're staying here
            B                            C#m
Spending tonight like there's nothing to fear
            A                      E
Heaven can wait as long as you're near
            B                           C#m
Living it right like there's nothing to fear
            A                  E
Heaven can wait we're staying here
            B                            C#m
Spending tonight like there's nothing to fear
            A                      E
Heaven can wait as long as you're near
            B                           C#m
Living it right like there's nothing to fear

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
(This gotta be living right)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
(This gotta be living...) yeah

Chorus:
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
This gotta be living right
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
The rhythm is so in time
Sparks ignite like kerosene
Writing out our history
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
This gotta be living right, yeah
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Yeah you gotta be living right
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
The rhythm is so in time
Sparks ignite like kerosene
Writing out our history
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
This gotta be living right, yeah
