[Verse 1]
A             F#m       G               A
The party may wind down the bottles are strewn and broken
D                 Em7               A     Asus2    A6   A   Asus2
The games are all played out like useless tokens
 A             F#m       G                   A
The videos are scattered their messages have screened and clattered
D              Em7       A                G
Discussing the actors as if they mattered they mattered


[Chorus]
C#m     A          C#m  A
And I'm not gaining any ground here
C#m    A             F#m        A
No I'm not listening you do not care
G#m7   A           G#m7   A
We are not driving in the same gear
A         A                      C               A
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights
        D               G  D  G
Getting turned off again


[Verse 2]
A                F#m     G                   A
The night's conversation might never really end up anywhere
D              Em7           A       Asus2    A6   A  Asus2
The big mouths just open and close on fingers
A             F#m           G                      A
The shal-la-la-la-low laughs they turned out to be hard reminders
D           Em7        A                 G
And we only heard them playing behind us behind us


[Chorus]
C#m     A           C#m     A
And I'm not gaining any ground here
C#m        A          F#m        A
You are not listening you do not care
G#m7    A             G#m7     A
You are not whispering in the right ear
A         A                      C               A
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights
        D               G  D  G
Getting turned off again


[Bridge]
A       Asus2    C        Cadd2
I can't stand it I can't stand it
A       Asus2    C        Cadd2    A  Asus2
I can't even gain your attention


[Instrumental]
C#m A  C#m A  C#m A  C#m A  C#m A  C#m  F#m


[Chorus]
C#m     A           C#m     A
And I'm not gaining any ground here
C#m        A          F#m        A
You are not listening you do not care
G#m7    A             G#m7     A
You are not whispering in the right ear
A         A                      C               A
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights


[Outro]
        C                A
On this dark side of the bright lights
       C                A
On the dark side of the bright lights
        D               G  D  G
Getting turned off again
        D               G  D  G
Getting turned off again
        D               G  D  G  D  G  D
Getting turned off again
