When the Boys Light Up Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]When[F#] the [B]boy[Em]s light up,
light up
When the boys light up, light up

[Verse 2]
When the boys light up, light up
[Em]
Back and forth like a daytime drama
Up and down like a yo-yo mama
mama
Say there's gonna be days like this
Cause light and dark don't coex[D]ist

[Verse 3]
[Em]How ya gonna see through this fog
How ya gonna get back on course
Ya ain't never gonna feel the force
If ya [G]don't connect to a [A]power source
[Em]Cause ya b[C]een swapping
out day for night
But ya see a lamp light burning bright
If [F#]ya get your flip-flops
off off the porch
We're [B]passing you the torch

[Verse 4]
[Em]When the boys light up, ya know
Who [G]gets the praise who [Bm]owns the show
[Em]When the boys light up, it's on
[G]We ain't stopping [Bm]till [Em]we're done
We ain't nothing but the conduits
He's [G]got the [Em]power,
He'll [Bm]flip the switch
[C]Leaving the dark be[B]hind
Light [Em]up a[D]nd let i[Em]t shine

[Verse 5]
When the boys light up, light [Em]up
When the boys light up, light up

[Verse 6]
I was feeling all [Em]overcome
Had a faith gone dim and [D]then some
[Em]Gotta call from a band of brothers
[G]Turn the mic on, [A]flash [Em]the Nikons
All the doubters, I heard [D]them say,
[Em]Now the band's gonna fade away
But the boys are back for a second act
[G]No excuses, we're [A]lighting [Em]fuses
[C]You're in the dawn of your finest hour
So get wired to the highest power
[F#]If you're down pick any sight
Get [Em]ready to ig[D]nite[Em][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]When the boys light up, ya know
Who [G]gets the praise who
[Bm]owns [Em]the show
When the boys light up, it's on
[G]We ain't stopping [Bm]till [Em]we're done
If we ain't nothing but the conduits
He's [G]got the power,
He'll [Bm]flip [Em]the switch
[C]Leaving the dark be[B]hind
Light [Em]up and let i[C]t shine

[Verse 8]
When we walk in His foot[G]steps
It's [D]a brighter [C]day
When we follow His [G]word
He [D]lights the [C]way
When we lift up His ban[G]ner
And [D]raise it [C]high
We light up [B]the sky

[Verse 9]
[Em]When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
[F#][Em]

[Verse 10]
When the boys light up, ya know
Who [G]gets the praise who
[Bm]owns [Em]the show
When the boys light up, it's on
[G]We ain't stopping [Bm]till [Em]we're done
If we ain't nothing but the conduits
He's [G]got the power,
He'll [Bm]flip [Em]the switch
[C]Leaving the dark be[Bm]hind[Em]

[Verse 11]
[Em]When the boys light up, ya know
Who [G]gets the praise who
[Bm]owns [Em]the show

If we ain't nothing but the conduits
He's [G]got the power,
He'll [Bm]flip the switch
