The ^Dparty wasn't ^Cover, when my ^Gfriends started ^Amleaving ^C Still a lot of ^Gthings I had to ^Dsay

N.C.

If I ^Dwalked back in that ^Croom, would it ^Gbe the way I ^Amleft it? ^C Lost my ^Gnerve and turned a^Dway

And the rains came

And the ^Amskies turned grey ^G ^D

CHORUS:

When the lights came ^Amon I could see the ^Gpicture It burnt my ^Ameyes and it bruised my ^Emmind Gave me ^Fhope to face the ^Cfuture I was not a^Glone when the lights came ^Amon

They ^Dcrucified the ^Cox and put his ^Gcarcass to the ^Amfire ^C Stood around pro^Gclaiming they were ^Dfree

^D Stripped away his ^Cflesh, while giving ^Gthanks for all his ^Amlabours ^CNo-one saw the ^Gjoke, but him and ^Dme

Then the rains came

And the ^Amskies turned grey ^G ^D

CHORUS:

When the lights came ^Amon I could see the ^Gpicture It burnt my ^Ameyes and it bruised my ^Emmind Gave me ^Fhope to face the ^Cfuture I was not a^Glone when the lights came ^Amon

A ^Dwise man built his ^Chouse upon a ^Grock beside a ^Amriver ^CCared not for the ^Gstorms that lashed ^Daround

^D The foolish man was ^Ctempted, dipped his ^Gsoul into the ^Amwater His ^Cbody, though at ^Gpeace, has not been ^Dfound

But the rains came

And the ^Amskies turned grey ^G ^D

When the lights came ^Amon I could see into the ^Gfuture It burnt my ^Ameyes and it ^Embruised my mind I saw the ^Ftruth that I had been con^Ccealing We were face to ^Gface when the lights came ^Amon
