The Stars Came Out Once The Lights Went Out

Em                                  C
I'm caught between the pen and the page
                            G
Lost in the remains of the age
                                 B
Daddy when you were young was it all this strange?


Em                                  C
Fear's inching up the ridge of my spine

The talking clock reminded me
G                                 B
I've never felt all myself and I don't know why


C
I can't seem to get to grips with it
  A7
I almost touched my fingertips to it
G             B
Why oh my oh my?


C
Then the stars came out once the lights went out
         A7
And I could not speak so I had to shout
              G                B
And then the moon passed sadly by.

Em                         C
The joys are few and far between
                                          G
I've got the doomsday app. on my iPhone screen
                                     B
Honey, I've seen the truth and it's worse than it seemed


Em
Sins derived and sins original
C
Lies eclipsed and lies made visible
G                                                B
I'm turning my back on the world and fixing my eyes on the sky


C
I can't seem to get to grips with it
   A7
I almost touched my fingertips to it
G             B
Why oh my oh my?


C
Then the stars came out once the lights went out
        A7
And I could not speak so I had to shout
              G                 B
And then the moon passed sadly by
