[Verse 1]
         A                     C#7 C#m
And the lights go on as the belts grow tighter it seems more
F#m                           Dm
difficult to walk through the fire
                    A     C#7 C#m
to walk through the fire
F#m     Dm
on your own
          A                     C#7 C#m
you gotta hold it back when you learn it early on
             F#m                         Dm                        A  C#7 C#m
that you can have what you want if you take it away from someone
F#m              Dm Dm
from somebody else

A C#7 F#m Dm

A C#7 F#m Dm

[Chorus 1]
            A5            B5
becasue you try to do the best that you can but it gets
D5                         E5
taken away again and again and again
  A5                 B5         D5              E5
it gets it gets tougher to be a person that you respect
A          B7                D       E
do you get desperate when you get alone
A          B7                D       E
do you get desperate when you get alone

A B7 D E x2

[Chorus 2]
A5             B5                       D5    E5
And the lights go off and on and off and on
A5             B5                       D5    E5
And the lights go off and on and off and on
A              B7                       D     E
And the lights go off and on and off and on
A              B7                       D     E
And the lights go off and on and off and on

A E F#m Dm

A                            E
And the lights go off as the wallets get bigger
             F#m                      Dm
it makes the few good folks left feel sicker and sicker
          A                 E
you gotta hold it back when time weares thin
             F#m                      Dm
learn not to get that upset about this sort of thing
                       A E F#m                  Dm
and just hope          that it all works out
    A
but hope got trademarked
            E
by elected  politicians
          F#m                                    Dm
and now it's so tough to hope without feeling deceptive
     A               B7
but i believe it's alright
     D                    E                     D Am
to believe it's gonna be allright
