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