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