This is an acoustical rendition of "Banner" by LIGHTS I made by ear. I don't think 
it is 100% in accordance to the album version, but the vocals and chords all sound 
pretty good together. Here is a youtube video of me performing if you want to hear 
it: http://youtu.be/i8zY08p0GmI

Verse 1

G                     G
Maybe it's bricks and mortar now
C                   C
Whether or not they run it down
G               G
I don't want anything 
              C            C
To shake that shape away
G                    G
No one told us which way to come
C               C
Nobody mapped oblivion
G              G           C
So I go growing roses in a disarray


Refrain 1

          Cmaj7            Esus4
Just like most falling head in
       Cmaj7            Esus4
Til my ghost fills the bed in


Chorus 1

           Emin      C
So lift it up like a banner
        G       D
Hold it up over me
        Em           C
If this war is never ending
            D
I take this love
          G*       G*
Down with me
            C*      C*
Like a banner

G* G* C* C*

Verse 2

G                    G
I don't need fate to give it time
   C                    C
It doesn't take pain to change your mind
   G          G                   C        C          
No weapon can sever the soul from me


Refrain 2

        Cmaj7             Esus4
Not the sorceress not the money
       Cmaj7              Esus4
All my cleverness all my cunning


Chorus 2

           Emin      C
So lift it up like a banner
        G       D
Hold it up over me
        Em           C
If this war is never ending
            D
I take this love
          G*       G*
Down with me
            C*      C*
Like a banner

G* G* C* C*


Bridge(2x)

Cmaj7          Cmaj7
It's around me in my surroundings
Esus4             Esus4
It counts me when it starts the counting
Cmaj7        Cmaj7
In the chaos there is a standard
Esus4        Esus4 
I'm carrying it like a banner



Chorus 3 (final)

           (Emin)    C
So lift it up like a banner
        G       D
Hold it up over me
        Em           C
If this war is never ending
            D
I take this love
          G*    
Down with me
