When The Lights Are Out

Cadd9 D7 G Gmaj7/F# Em Cadd9 D7 G Gmaj7/F# Em Cadd9 C Em I bite my nails until I bleed and my fingertips are sore Fmaj7 C Em Then I play on my guitar until they’re red and hurt some more C Em If I verbalised all the things I felt, would I be a poet, or just an idiot Fmaj7 C Em Would you listen to my palaver, or would I end up getting burnt Prechorus C Em G G Aoooooooh C Em G G Aoooooooh Cadd9 D7 When the lights are out and the blinds go down G Gmaj7/F# Em Do you get off of the floor Cadd9 D7 Do you rest your head, get some sleep instead G Gmaj7/F# Em Of thinking thoughts you’ve thought many times before Cadd9 D7 When you close your eyes and feel your body rise G Gmaj7/F# Em Up to the clouds, where one could touch the stars Cadd9 D7 Do you wish you could stay there forever G Gmaj7/F# Em Like I do Cadd9 I could stay there with you C Em I roam the dark depths that surround one when without distractions Fmaj7 C Em Or perhaps feeling lost simply in thought is an overreaction C Em I don’t trust the way I handle things falling down on my head Fmaj7 C Em I wish I could exist just in a vacuum instead Prechorus C Em G G Aoooooooh C Em G G Aoooooooh Cadd9 D7 When the lights are out and the blinds go down G Gmaj7/F# Em Do you get off of the floor Cadd9 D7 Do you rest your head, get some sleep instead G Gmaj7/F# Em Of thinking thoughts you’ve thought many times before Cadd9 D7 When you close your eyes and feel your body rise G Gmaj7/F# Em Up to the clouds, where one could touch the stars Cadd9 D7 Do you wish you could stay there forever G Gmaj7/F# Em Like I do Cadd9 I could stay there with you Dm And when it comes to it C I’ll keep swimming in an ocean of overthinking Em Feel the waves of anxiety surround me C As I sink deep in Dm Will you come back to me C In the pitch black gloom of night Em All the way up there in the sky C Between dust and light Cadd9* D7* When the lights are out and the blinds go down G* Gmaj7/F#* Em* Do you get off of the floor Cadd9* D7* Do you rest your head, get some sleep instead G* Gmaj7/F#* Em* Of thinking thoughts you’ve thought many times before Cadd9 D7 When you close your eyes and feel your body rise G Gmaj7/F# Em Up to the clouds, where one could touch the stars Cadd9 D7 Do you wish you could stay there forever G Gmaj7/F# Em Like I do Cadd9 D7 Do you wish you could stay there forever G Gmaj7/F# Em Like I do Cadd9 D7 Do you wish you could stay there forever G Gmaj7/F# Em Like I do Cadd9 I could stay there with you
