[Verse 1]

C  
You're glowing, you colour and fracture the light  
C  
You can't help but shine  
C  
And I know that you carry the world on your back  
C  
But look at you tonight  

[Pre-Chorus]

   C            Dm7        Am7  
The lights, your face, your eyes  
    Fsus2     C         Dm7    Fsus2  N.C.  
Exploding like fireworks in the sky... (Sapphire!)  

[Chorus]

C  
Touching on your body while you're pushing on me  
C  
Don't you end the party, I could do this all week  
C  
We'll be dancing till the morning, go to bed, we won't sleep  
C  
Cham cham chamke sitare wargi... (Sapphire!)  
  
C                                  Dm7  
Touching on your body while you're pushing on me

Don't you end the party, I could do this all week  
        C                               Dm7  
We'll be dancing till the morning, go to bed, we won't sleep  
Am7                Fsus2  
Cham cham chamke sitare wargi  

[Verse 2]

C  
Look what we found, Karma reached out  
C  
Into our hearts and pulled us to our feet now  
C  
You know the truth is we could disappear  
C         N.C.  
Anywhere, as long as I got you there  
  
C  
When the sun dies, till the day shines  
C  
When I'm with you, there's not enough time  
C  
You are my spring flower, watching you bloom, wow  
C  
We are surrounded but I can only see  

[Pre-Chorus]

                 Dm7        Am7  
The lights, your face, your eyes  
     Fsus2     C         Dm7    Fsus2  N.C.  
Exploding like fireworks in the sky... (Sapphire!)  

[Chorus – Repeat]

         You're glowing_____

You're glowing  
Fsus2                    C  
You colour and fracture the light

Look at you tonight... (Sapphire!)
