This is my first tab EVER. So please, do not go crazy if you don't like it. I chose to
lighthouse because its a piano song and no one can make fun of you for trying when it's
the same instrument. I also did not like the other tab, it didn't sound good to me; so i 
with some chords and found out that it has the tune of Lighthouse, and here we are.
I play this it sounds correct, although you can always have a diffrent opinion. =]

Chords includ: ( in order of EADGBe)
AM : 002210
C : 032010
G : 320003
EM : 022000
BM7 : 224232
F#7 : 242322
E : 022100

Capo is on fret 1 or 2, dpending on your voice really.
And Standard tuning.

And from experience, I hate when people do not put the chords with the lyrics, so I
them.


(No intro really needed.)

AM            G                  C
Take what you need while there's time
AM               G          AM       EM
The city will be earth in a short while
AM         C        G              AM
If I'm not mistaken it's been in flames
AM      C      G             C . . . (Ring it out)
You and I will escape to the seaside

AM         G            C
There is a storm in the distance
AM                 G              AM     EM
The wind breathing warning of its imminence
AM         C          G            AM
There is a lighthouse five hundred yards down
C       G         C
You and I will be safe there

BM7       F#7        E           AM
There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
BM7            F#7
She saved me, I was swimming
E        AM
So young I almost drowned
BM7       F#7   E          AM
Under the water she sang a story
BM7       F#7
Of losing her lover
E           AM
She calls a warning

AM            G        C
Love, you are foolish, you're tired
AM                 G           AM EM
Your sleeplessness makes you a liar
AM       C
The city is burning
G            AM
The ocean is turning
C        G             C
Our only chance is the lighthouse

BM7       F#7
Her lover was a sailor
    E        AM
She went and she waited there
BM7             F#7
The door locked from the outside
E     AM    BM7            F#7
Lover never arrived so she sings there
E         AM    BM7
Soft as a siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming

BM7     F#7    E              AM
We went in, we climbed up and looked out
BM7             F#7
The door locked from the outside
E            AM
Three ghosts in a lighthouse

Once again, I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds accurate.
