Em A 6x
Yeah!
Em A 6x
Em A Em A 2x
When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
D Em Em A Em A 2x
Turn out the lights, yeah
Em A Em A 2x
When the music's over
Em A Em A 2x
When the music's over,
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights,
For the music is your special friend,
dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
Synthesizers break
Em A 6x
Em A Em A Em A 2x
Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Em A Em A Em A 2x
Send my credentials to the house of detention
Em A7 Em A 2x
I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"Alive", she cried
Waiting for me,
outside
Em A 4x
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear, I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly
Em A 4x
Come back, baby
Back into my arms
(talking with Em A in background)
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around, with our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near, yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today
What have they done to the Earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences
And dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
NOW!
Em A 4x
Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!
Instrumental break
Em A 4x
Em A Em A 2x
So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights,
When the music is your special friend,
dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
