[Intro] G
 
G                          D
Faintly fading sirens in my ear
  C                D            G
I guess that we survived another year
    G                                D
The lights are blowing circuits in my brain
  C                  D             G
I don't yet know the damage I've sustained
 
  Bm                         Em
I put my life into a suitcase yesterday
Am                G                 D
Rolled it down the hall and then went on my way
 
        G                D            B/D#
Is this lights out? Cause I'm not ready to go down yet
Em    C       D              C                 G
Lights out and I won't soon forget how good it's been
 
     G                                 D
The streets outside are buzzing day and night
    C          D              G
The television tells us why we fight
    G                                D
But I don't care about who's wrong or right
    C              D             G
Coz I just want to see her face tonight
 
  Bm                            Em
I lit a candle for my loved ones back at home
Am          G             D
Set upon the task that only I alone can do
 
        G                D            B/D#
Is this lights out? Cause I'm not ready to go down yet
Em    C       D              C                 G
Lights out and I won't soon forget how good it's been
 
      Am
I've stumbled through that dark place
      Cm
in my mind and find those memories
       Em              D               C
Still stacked along the back of that old head of mine
           Am                               Cm
That's the way that I remember much of these early years
 
( G  Em  Am  C  D )

        G                D            B/D#
Is this lights out? Cause I'm not ready to go down yet
Em    C       D              C                 G
Lights out and I won't soon forget how good it's been
D               A#3/D#
I'm not ready to go down yet
Em    C       D              C                 G  Em
Lights out and I won't soon forget how good it's been
