C G D A E B D

Verse 1:
D                           A
My hands are cupped around the match
E                   B
 I'm just trying to keep the lights on
D                                  A
But the lighthouse should not be in league
            C                                  G
With  the rocks though at some point it's all uncharted water

Chorus:
 D                A
And I didn't see you there
 C              G
I didn't see you there
D                     A
And I didn't see you there
C                  G
I didn't see you there

E                    B
 I'm just trying to keep the lights on
D                       A
With the martyrs in the tombs
C                            G
With the saints or whoever wants to burn whatever

Chorus:
D                A
And I didn't see you there
 C              G
I didn't see you there

 I'm just trying to keep the lights on
D                           A
If you wanted quick results said the night
C                                      G
then I think you should have been a surgeon

And I didn't see you there

I didn't see you there

Or has it already gone out
G                 D
 Or has it already gone out

 I'm just trying to keep the lights on
