'Switching off' from Cast of Thousands Tabbed by W. M. Lewis ([email protected]) [Verse 1]
B                                    F#
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil

    G#m           E
And a final scene unfolds inside

B                                     F#
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow

     G#m                  E
Is a part replayed from a perfect day

B                                  F#
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy

G#m                 E
Love's first blush
[Chorus 1]
E              F#
Is this making sense?

                    E
What am I trying to say?

              F#
Early evening June

                      E
This room and a radio play

               F#
This I need to save

                  E
I choose my final thoughts today

F#                 B
Switching off with you
[Verse 2]
B
All the clocks give in

                F#
And the traffic fades

        G#                   E
And the insects like, like a neon choir

B
The instant fizz

           F#
Connection made

G#
And the curtains sigh

E
In time 
With you [Chorus 2]
E             F#                       E
You, the only sense the world has ever made

              F#
Early evening June

                      E
This room and a radio play

               F#
This I need to save

                  E
I choose my final scene today

F#
Switching off
[Bridge]
B
Ran to ground, ran to ground

    F#           G#m                    E
But I came off, I came off pretty well, I came off pretty well

B                             F#
Ran to ground, ran to ground, for a while there

G#m                          E
But I came off pretty well, and I came off pretty well

E   F#    B
Ah ah ah ah

B
(Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow)

E   F#    B
Ah ah ah ah
[Chorus 3]
E             F#                       E
You, the only sense the world has ever made

               F#
This I need to save

                 E            F#
A simple trinket locked away

                  E
I choose my final scene today

F#                 B
Switching off with you
