A

[Verse]
A                          F#m
The night that the power went out
A                               D    E
Stumbling through drawers for a flashlight

[Chorus]

D            A           E        F#m
White in the match for a second or two
D           A          E         F#m
Burning my finger with wax on my shoe
D       A          E       F#m
Flying around like bat in a zoo
D                 E             A
It's a view that we won't ever see

[Verse]

 A                            F#m
And I was the sleeve of your coat
 A                    D    E
A maraca without any insides

[Chorus]

D         A        E           F#m
A silent garden of carrots and peas
D         A         E              F#m
Listening into the sound of the breeze
D         A          E          F#m
Patiently waiting for someone to leave
 D                     E          A
With the sleeve on the coat rack downstairs

[Bridge]

          D
But I'm not there
          A
I am right here
E                      Bm
Sitting alone with the things that I fear
          D
I've made mistakes
           A
But I don't care
Dm
They're just an albatross hanging round
                              E
An albatross hanging round my neck

[Verse]

A                           F#m
So stick out your tongue in the air
A                          D       E
Cause you might not be able tomorrow

[Chorus]

D                  A
The change in the weather
E                F#m
The shape of the sun
D         A               E         F#m
A slight indication that winter is done
D                 A              E              F#m
So catch all the snowflakes you can with your tongue

[Outro]

D               E             F#m
Cause you only can one day a year
D            E         A
Tomorrow the summer is here
