Misc Originals – Charlene Flynn - Lights Out (Guitar)

Dm
Lights out,

Am
Drowning in my sorrow,

C
Can’t afford tomorrow,

        G
and the night is closing in,

Dm                Am
It’s time now to choose a new direction,

      C
Don’t fear my own reflection,

        G
and I’m holding up my chin.

Dm
Like a prisoner in my fallacy,

Am
I don’t believe there’s more for me,

C
Plain sight illusions you can’t see,

G
The cage is where the bird is free.

Dm
Empty hand and empty song I will,

Am
Kill the joker with his own jagged pill,

C
The silence will fill he room but still,

G
I’m forced to drink the blood you spill.

Dm
Lights out,

Am
Drowning in my sorrow,

C
Can’t afford tomorrow,

        G
and the night is closing in,

Dm                Am
It’s time now to choose a new direction,

      C
Don’t fear my own reflection,

        G
and I’m holding up my chin.

Dm
Could this really be the longest day,

Am
Should my mind feel like the colour grey,

C
Do I always have to watch the words I say,

G
No, I don’t think that I’m ok.

Dm
No patience in her to be polite,

Am
When the eagle spreads her wings in flight,

C
Stretches out and navigates the starry night,

G
Wide eyed she feeds with pure delight.

Dm
Lights out,

Am
Drowning in my sorrow,

C
Can’t afford tomorrow,

        G
and the night is closing in,

Dm                Am
It’s time now to choose a new direction,

      C
Don’t fear my own reflection,

        G
and I’m holding up my chin.

Dm
Don’t take my word for this you see,

Am
That’s just the illusionist in me,

C
Don’t you know the bird was never truly free,

G
Just stop pretending you don’t see.

Dm
Lights out,

Am
Drowning in my sorrow,
