Spoon - Out go the lights
 C/G332010
Dm xx0231 and then *xx0230
C/GYou walk into the ballroom like
FThe call for wind and rain was right
GAnd all them heads went left to right
DmThen out went the lights
GIt was a break in time
DmI know your mechanismsF  
C/GYou became like that
FOn which your heart was fixed
GBefore I knew what was which
DmOut with the lights
GThere's a picture of you
DmStanding there in my black wig
GLooking like, "Who thinks they know who?"
FStanding there in my black wig
DmI came here for the noise
GYou always look good that way
FYou with the one-two punch from IllinoisDm  
C/GIf you lean any harder
FThat window breaks at the bump
GAnd when that light turns back again
DmYou will remember the way
GThey fall for you like a brick
DmOh but nobody knows you
GOr woos you when you're down or kicked
FOut go the lights
DmNever see that kind of poise
GYou always look good that way
FYou with the one-two punch
DmYou always look good that way

Spoon - Out go the lights

C/G

332010

Dm xx0231 and then *xx0230

C/G

You walk into the ballroom like

The call for wind and rain was right

And all them heads went left to right

Then out went the lights

It was a break in time

Dm F

I know your mechanisms

C/G

You became like that

On which your heart was fixed

Before I knew what was which

Out with the lights

There's a picture of you

Standing there in my black wig

Looking like, "Who thinks they know who?"

Standing there in my black wig

I came here for the noise

You always look good that way

F Dm

You with the one-two punch from Illinois

C/G

If you lean any harder

That window breaks at the bump

And when that light turns back again

You will remember the way

They fall for you like a brick

Oh but nobody knows you

Or woos you when you're down or kicked

Out go the lights

Never see that kind of poise

You always look good that way

You with the one-two punch

You always look good that way
