Verse
; Chorus (E, F#, B)
VERSE 1
C# G#
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
A#m F#
And a final scene unfolds inside
C# G#
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
A#M F#
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
C# G#
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
A#M F#
Love's first blush
CHORUS 1
F# G#
Is this making sense?
F#
What am I trying to say?
G#
Early evening June
F#
This room and a radio play
G#
This I need to save
F#
I choose my final thoughts today
G# C#
Switching off with you
VERSE 2
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like, like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you
CHORUS 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
BRIDGE
C#
Ran to ground, ran to ground
G# A#M F#
But I came off, I came off pretty well, I came off pretty well
C# G#
Ran to ground, ran to ground, for a while there
A#m F#
But I came off pretty well, and I came off pretty well
F# G# C#
Ah ah ah ah
C#
(Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow)
F# G# C#
Ah ah ah ah
CHORUS 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
B simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
