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