[Verse 1]
    Cm
The lights went out (the last fuse blew)
    Cm
The clocks all stopped (it can't be true)
    Cm
The program's wrong (what can we do?)
    Cm
The printout's blocked (it relied on you)
Cm       Gm       F
     The turbines cracked up
Cm       Gm        F
     The buildings froze up
Cm       Gm     F
     The system choked up
Cm        Gm     F
     What can we do?


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                   F
Please   remember to mention me
   Bb          Db      Ab
in tapes   you leave behind

[Chorus]
Cm
        We stood still
Cm
        We all stood still
Cm
        Still stood still
Cm            G
        We're standing still

[Verse 2]
    Cm
The screen shut down (there's no reply)
    Cm
The lifts all fall (a siren cries)
        Cm
And the radar fades (a pilot sighs)
       Cm
As the countdowns stall (the readout lies)
Cm       Gm       F
     The turbines cracked up
Cm       Gm        F
     The buildings froze up
Cm       Gm     F
     The system choked up
Cm        Gm     F
     What can we do?


[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                   F
Please   remember to mention me
   Bb          Db      Ab
in tapes   you leave behind

[Chorus]
Cm
        We stood still
Cm
        We all stood still
Cm
        Still stood still
Cm            G
        We're standing still

[Verse 3]
    Cm
The black box failed (The codes got crossed).
        Cm
and the jails decayed (The keys got lost).
Cm
Everyone kissed (We breathe exhaust).
       Cm
in the new arcade (Of the holocaust).
Cm       Gm       F
     The turbines cracked up
Cm       Gm        F
     The buildings froze up
Cm       Gm     F
     The system choked up
Cm        Gm     F
     What can we do?

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                   F
Please   remember to mention me
   Bb          Db            Ab
in tapes   you might leave behind.

[Chorus]
Cm
        We stood still
Cm
        We all stood still
Cm
        Still stood still
Cm            G
        We're standing still
Cm
        We stood still
Cm
        We all stood still
Cm
        Still stood still
Cm            N.C.
        We're standing still
