Bb = x13331
A = x02220
A7 = x02020
Gm = x55333

A D5
i woke up with the power out, not really somethin to shout about.
A D5
ice has covered up my parents hands, don't have any dreams don't have any plans.
Bb F
i went out into the night, i went out to find some light.
Bb F
kids are swingin from the power lines, nobody's home so nobody minds
A D5
i woke up on the darkest night, neighbors all were shouting that they found the light -
"we found the light."
A D5
shadows jumpin' all over my walls, some of them big, some of them small.
Bb F
i went out into the night i went out to pick a fight with anyone.
Bb
light a candle for the kids, jesus christ don't keep it hid! D5
