When The Lights Come On

By: They Might Be Giants

Key: D Major

Year: 2018

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 We won't remember each other But we'll probably recover Unless everyone's gone It might be too soon to say this But I think that we may just See the lights come on A A A A See I've been picturing D G D A Diagrams of master plans Bm Bm Bm Bm I taught myself to draw in the dust Em C G A (Bm) With what remains of my left hand And from what I can tell I'll be no more than a shell Or an automaton But we'll be laughing and shit It will have been worth it When the lights come on G Em Unless we chicken out again C A Which is exactly how we ended up in here Bm G Our guard was down, we were disarmed Em F# They tampered with the smoke alarm There won't be any more trouble You'll be dragged from the rubble When the lights come on And I'll be looking so great I will have lost some weight When the lights come on We will be growing mustaches Once we're raised from the ashes When the lights come on We'll be encased in gold Desiccated and old When the lights come on See I've been picturing Diagrams of master plans I taught myself to draw in the dust With what remains of my left hand F# And from what I can tell Bm G Groping around, there's something else Em A I feel a face, I feel a pulse Bm I think I'm G Tripping A D D/C# Something's got me by the hair Bm Let's table this discussion G Until my concussion A D On the bottom stair G Em Unless I pass out once again C A And find the bandage where my kidney used to be Bm G Knocked over lamp, some broken plates Em F# Prescription pads for opiates Bm G A D Bm G A D
