             C
When society's crumbled
        F                  C
And everything's gone,
                                             F
When the cars are all rusted away
                 C
When there ain't no more money,
                   F             C
And there's nothing to buy,
       Dm                            G
And all that we have is the day
              C
When the world becomes silent,
      F                  C
No planes in the air
                                            F
And the voices just gather to sing
               C
When the guns are the fence posts
              F               C
And the cars are the dog house
             Dm                          G
And the telephones no longer ring


       F                         C
And what, what of the night
       F                  C     G  F
With no electrical light ?
            G
So what then ?
C                        F     F/E         Dm         G
You, you and the candles will be all that I need
        C                         F    F/E            Dm            G
Your face bathed in the firelight will be all I want to see
       F                         G
And I'll still sing you a song
          E                           Am    Am/G
That'll last the whole night long
F                          G

You, you and the candles
When the grocery stores are hollow inside,
And the airports are filled with the breeze
After the anarchy finally subsides,
When you reckon with how it will be

When empires are humbled for the eyes of the people
And the truth will be like a parade
When industry's fallen, we'll make our own clothes now
The gifts of our hands rise again

And what, what of the night
With no electrical light ?
So what then ?

You, you and the candles will be all that I need

Your face bathed in the firelight will be all I want to see
And I'll still sing you a song
That'll last the whole night long
You, you and the candles

         Dm
In the waste paper basket
      Bb
The timing's fantastic
      F                                    C
For lovers to mean what they say
          Dm                            Bb
And a night lit in candles on stained wooden mantles
             G                                   C
Keep us safe 'till the night turns to day
F                        Bb     Bb/A
You, you and the storm clouds
             Gm                 C
And the puddles at our feet
      F                                    Bb    Bb/A
The lightning cuts through the heavens
       Gm                      C
And lights you so bravely

      Bb                        C
And I'll still write you a song
    A                            Dm        Dm/C
To last the whole night long
Bm                     C
You, you and the candles
Bm                     C                F
You, you and the candles

GOODBYE TO RADIO

G                D
Goodbye to radio
Am     Em         D                    C
Goodbye to the things that we know
       G            D
And calculate passages
Am                     Em      D     C
And bloom like a tiger lilly in July

      C/B             Am
And lovers will die
       D            G                 D                      C
And lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen
    C/B            Am
So stop telling lies
         D             G               D               C
And start falling blind in the deepest of seas

Salvaged by wondering
Weighed down by tears that you wish you could cry
And I want to make love with you
Spread you so wide
Like the bluest of nights

And lovers will die
And lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen
So stop telling lies
And start falling blind in the deepest of seas

F         Dm         C         Bb

       E             A                  E                     D
And lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen

So stop telling lies
        E              A                E              D
And start falling blind to the darkest of seas
                       Bm
And lovers will die
       E             A                  E                     D
And lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen

So stop telling lies

And start falling blind to the darkest of seas
