Lightbulb Sun

Porcupine Tree

Biography:

Porcupine Tree was a British progressive rock band formed in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom in 1987. During the course of the band's history, it has at times incorporated psychedelic rock, alternative, ambient, electronic, and, most recently, metal and post-rock into its unique style of progressive rock. Since 2010, mainstay Steven Wilson has concentrated on his solo work.

Porcupine Tree started out as a "fake" band, the only real member being multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson.

Intro:
G/C D/B A Asus4 A

VERSE 1:
G/C D/B
The sun is a light bulb

A Asus4 A
A candle's a treat

G/C D/B
The curtains stay closed now

A Asus4 A
On my little retreat

G/C D/B
And I'll only take medicine

A Asus4 A
If it's followed by sweets

G/C D/B
A sickly pink liquid

A Asus4 A
That puts me to sleep

CHORUS 1:
A Dsus2 C5 | A Dsus2 BB5

A Dsus2 C5
My head beats a better way

A Dsus2 BB5
Tomorrow a better day

VERSE 2:
G/C D/B
And I can watch TV

A
While I'm wrapped up in bed

G/C D/B
And mother makes sure that

A
I'm watered and fed

G/C D/B
My best from school will

A
Come over and stare

G/C D/B
At me in my bubble

A
Of germified air

CHORUS 2:
A Dsus2 C5
My head beats a better way

A Dsus2 BB5
Tomorrow a better day

BRIDGE 1:
Dsus2 BB A
When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

Dsus2 BB A
I feel the heat, my illness leaves me

SOLO 1: [in Am / C]
(chords played are):
C Bm A

WIERD BRIDGE THINGY:
A [A5 Asus2 A Asus4] A
[ played fast ]

CHORUS 3:
A Dsus2 C5
My head beats a better way

A Dsus2 BB5
Tomorrow a better day

BRIDGE 2:
Dsus2 BB A
When I'm asleep the smoke fills me

Dsus2 BB A
I feel the heat, my illness leaves me

SOLO 2: [in Am / C]
(chords played are):
C Bm A

VERSE 3/ OUTRO:
G/C D/B
The sun is a light bulb

A Asus4 A
A candle's a treat

G/C D/B
The curtains stay closed now

A Asus4 A
On my little retreat

G/C D/B
But after a while

A Asus4 A
The noise from the street

G/C D/B
Is making me wish I

A Asus4 A
Was back on my feet

ENJOY!
