'Switching off' from Cast of Thousands
Tabbed by W.M.Lewis ([email protected])
CHORDS: Verse & Bridge (B, F#, G#m, E); Chorus (E, F#, B)
VERSE 1
[B]Last of the men in hats hops off the [F#]coil
And [G#m]a final scene [E]unfolds inside
[B]Deep in the rain of sparks behind his [F#]brow
Is a [G#m]part replayed from a [E]perfect day
[B]Teaching her how to whistle like a [F#]boy
[G#m]Love's first blush[E]

CHORUS 1
[E]Is this making [F#]sense?
What am I trying to [E]say?
Early evening [F#]June
This room and a radio [E]play
This I need to [F#]save
I choose my final [E]thoughts today
[F#]Switching off with [B]you
VERSE 2
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like, like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you
CHORUS 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
BRIDGE
[B]Ran to ground, ran to ground
But [F#]I came off, I[G#m] came off pretty well, [E]I came off pretty well
[B]Ran to ground, ran to ground, [F#]for a while there
[G#m]But I came off pretty well, a[E]nd I came off pretty well
[E]Ah a[F#]h ah a[B]h
[B](Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow)
[E]Ah a[F#]h ah a[B]h
CHORUS 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
