A /// F#m / A /// D


[Verse]
Bm                        D  
   Food banks spring open
              A         
Like jaws dropping in time
Bm                         D  
   The weight of man is measured
                  A
By the depths of a carrier bag
Bm                     D  
   Im frozen for ages
                   A         
The same faces the same scars
Bm                         D  
   Its a shame all our sages
                         
Are rotten to the middle


[Chorus]
A         F#m A
  Someone better tell me when the lights go out
                  D
So I know where I should hide
A         F#m A
  Someone better offer me their salient thoughts
                  D
On a welfare state denied
A         F#m A
  Someone better smother me in disregard
                  D
So Ill make it through the night
A         F#m A
  And theres so many people
                  D
 That feel the same as I do


[Verse]
     Bm                 F#m
So dont listen to your heart
                        E
Listen to your soul         
                             D
Listen to your common senses
     Bm               F#m
Ive been battered by a storm
                        E
Been run into a wall          
                                  D
Been vaulted like a row of fences
     Bm           F#m
Dont be surprised
                        E
When those wide eyes                  
                          D
Drill a hole into the present tenses
     Bm                  F#m
You should cherish even more
                        E
The things that make us raw  
                                D
Stay loyal to the consequences


[Chorus]
A         F#m A
  Someone better tell me when the lights go out
                  D
So I know where I should hide
A         F#m A
  Someone better offer me their salient thoughts
                  D
On a welfare state denied
A         F#m A
  Someone better smother me in disregard
                  D
So Ill make it through the night
A       F#m A
  And theres so many people
                  D
 That feel the same as I do
A       F#m A
  And theres so many people
                  D
 That feel the same as I do
A       F#m A
  And theres so many people
                  D
 That feel the same as I do
A           F#m A
  And theres so many people
                  D
 That feel the same as I do
A           F#m A
  And theres so many people
                  D
That feel let down like I do
