[Intro]
C   Cmaj7   Am   Am7   Dm7   Gx2
[Verse 1]
Is it Ccruel or Cmaj7kind
Not to Amspeak my Am7mind
And to Dm7lie to you
Rather than Ghurt you
Well, I'll conCfess all of my Cmaj7sins
After Amseveral large Am7gins
But still I'll Dm7hide from you
Hide what's inGside from you
And aClarm bells Cmaj7ring
When you Amsay your heart still Am7sings
When you're Dm7with me
Oh won't you please forGgive me
[Pre-Chorus]
I no longer hear the CmusicCmaj7  
Oh AmnoooAm7o Dm7nooG  
[Verse 2]
And all the memories of the Cpubs
And the Cmaj7clubs and the Amdrugs and the Am7tubs
We shared toDm7gether
Will stay with me forGever
But all the Chighs and the Cmaj7lows
And the Amtos and the Am7fros
They left me Dm7dizzy
Oh won't you please forGgive me
[Pre-Chorus]
I no longer hear the CmusicCmaj7  
Oh AmnoooAm7o Dm7nooG

Well I no lGonger F#hear the Fmusic when the Clights go out
FLove goes cold in the Cshades of doubt
The Fstrange fate in my Dmind is all too GclearG  F#

All the memories of the Cfights and the Cmaj7nights
Under blue Amlights, all the Am7kites
We flew toDm7gether
I thought they'd fly forGever
But all the Chighs and the Cmaj7lows
And the Amtos and the Am7fros
They left me Dm7dizzy
Won't you forGgive me

The story behind the song

"Music When The Lights Go Out" comes from The Libertines, an English rock band known for the songwriting partnership of frontmen Carl Barât and Pete Doherty. The band's music was often overshadowed by internal conflicts, largely due to Doherty's struggles with addiction, which he later cited as the cause of the band's eventual break-up.
