'Switching off' from Cast of Thousands Tabbed by W.M.Lewis ([email protected]) CHORDS: Verse & Bridge (B, F#, G#m, E); Chorus (E, F#, B) 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 All the clocks give in And the traffic fades And the insects like, like a neon choir The instant fizz Connection made And the curtains sigh In time With you CHORUS 2 You, the only sense the world has ever made Early evening June This room and a radio play This I need to save I choose my final scene today 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 You, the only sense the world has ever made This I need to save A simple trinket locked away I choose my final scene today Switching off with you
