Verse
; Chorus (E, F#, B)
VERSE 1
C G
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
Am F
And a final scene unfolds inside
C G
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
AM F
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
C G
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
AM 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 AM 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
Am 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
A# simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
