When The Lights Come On

Bm                      G
I'll make a reckless prediction
                     A
I'll still be in the kitchen
                     D D/C#
When the lights come on
Bm                        G
I think we'll probably be good
                           A
If stuff is still where it stood
                     D
When the lights come on

Bm                     G
We won't remember each other
                     A
But we'll probably recover
                  D D/C#
Unless everyone's gone
Bm                      G
It might be too soon to say this
                    A
But I think that we may just
                    D
See the lights come on


[Chorus]
A
See I've been picturing
D  G        D      A
Diagrams of master plans
  Bm                           Em
I taught myself to draw in the dust
     C      G        A       Bm
With what remains of my left hand


[Verse]
Bm                  G
And from what I can tell
                       A
I'll be no more than a shell
            D D/C#
Or an automaton
Bm                        G
But we'll be laughing and shit
                        A
It will have been worth it
                     D
When the lights come on


[Bridge]
Bm                Em
Unless we chicken out again
C                A                  Bm
Which is exactly how we ended up in here
              G
Our guard was down, we were disarmed
Em                     F#
They tampered with the smoke alarm



[Verse]
Bm                      G
There won't be any more trouble
                           A
You'll be dragged from the rubble
                     D D/C#
When the lights come on
Bm                     G
And I'll be looking so great
                      A
I will have lost some weight
                     D
When the lights come on


Bm                 G
We will be growing mustaches
                           A
Once we're raised from the ashes
                     D D/C#
When the lights come on
Bm                  G
We'll be encased in gold
               A
Desiccated and old
                    D
When the lights come on


[Chorus]
A
See I've been picturing
D  G        D      A
Diagrams of master plans
  Bm                           Em
I taught myself to draw in the dust
     C      G        A       F#
With what remains of my left hand


[Bridge]
F#                  Bm
And from what I can tell
                        G
Groping around, there's something else
Em               A
I feel a face, I feel a pulse

Bm          G
I think I'm tripping
A                         D  D/C#
Something's got me by the hair
Bm                  G
Let's table this discussion
            A                     D  D/C#
Until my concussion on the bottom stair

G                 Em
Unless I pass out once again
C                             A              Bm
And find the bandage where my kidney used to be
             G
Knocked over lamp, some broken plates
Em                    F#
Prescription pads for opiates


[Outro]
Bm G A D D/C#
Bm G A D
