Biography:
Brighten is an indie rock band from Chico, California, consisting of Justin Richards (guitar, lead vocals), Alex Draper (bass, backing vocals), and Jimmy Richards (drums, percussion).
Although Brighten has been playing together for nine years, they only formed a band in 2004. In high school, they went by the name Sincerely Me, though after high school, due to minor conflict, they changed their name to Brighten.
They independently released their debut EP, Ready When You Are, on November 9, 2005.

I'm asked to walk her to her car at night,
That's my job when it's dark outside,
D A
But what she really wants, is to be by my side.
A
I'm her blanket when it's five degrees,
It's so cold we can see when we breathe,
D A
What she really wants, is to be next to me.
C# D
I'll be her shelter while we wait,
C# D
For a cab standing in the rain,
A Q
And it never seems to bother me.

I'm not giving in, you’re not calling it quits.

We have it too good now.

Somebody just like this

Oh she's my music when I'm trying to sleep,
When I forget the words, she knows everything
D A
What I really want, is to hear her sing (hear her sing)
A
She's my feet when I cannot dance,
She just loves it and she doesn't laugh,
D A
And what I really love, she says I'm not so bad.
C# D
You’re the one that keeps the two of us from going overboard,
A E2
I could see, that you’re no good for me,
C# D
We're the ones who will change love to what it used to be,
A E2
So simple(so simple), so sweet

This is definitely not 100% correct, tried my best though from watching the above
