The tab of this song that's up now sounds kind of off to me.
So I worked something out myself.
Sounds pretty dead on to me. Let me know what you think.
[Intro]
C G Em D
[Verse 1]
The power lines went oCut
And I am all alGone
But I don’t really cCare at all
Not answering my phGone
All the games you plCayed
The promises you mGade
Couldn’t finish what you sCtarted
Only darkness still rAmemains
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost sCight
Couldn’t Amsee
CWhen it was Dyou and me
[Chorus]

My wish is coming Ctrue
Erase the memory of your fAmace

[Intro]

C G Em D

[Verse 1]

The power lines went out

And I am all alone

But I don’t really care at all

Not answering my phone

All the games you played

The promises you made

Couldn’t finish what you started

Only darkness still remains

[Pre-Chorus]

Lost sight

Couldn’t see

C D

When it was you and me

[Chorus]

Blow the candles out

D Em

Looks like a solo tonight

C D

I’m beginning to see the light

Blow the candles out

D Em

Looks like a solo tonight

C D

But I think I’ll be alright

[Instrumental]

C G

[Verse 2]

Been black and blue before

There’s no need to explain

I am not the jaded kind

Playback’s such a waste

You’re invisible

Invisible to me

My wish is coming true

Erase the memory of your face

[Pre-Chorus]

Lost sight

Couldn’t see

C D

When it was you and me

[Chorus]

Blow the candles out

D Em

Looks like a solo tonight

C D

I’m beginning to see the light

Blow the candles out

D Em

Looks like a solo tonight

C D

But I think I’ll be alright

[Bridge]

One day

You will wake up

G D

With nothing but your 'sorry''s

And someday

You will get back

G D

Everything you gave me

[Chorus]

Blow the candles out

D Em

Looks like a solo tonight

C D

I’m beginning to see the light

Blow the candles out

D Em

Looks like a solo tonight
