Here Comes The Blackout!

You're standing on the only chair
                              G
And you're singing to the screens 
and the moving stairs
            Am                    F
All on your own in the arrivals

                     C
You heard it in the watchman's cry
                        G
And you saw it in the bleeding 
evening sky
                Am
You got a Swiss army in your pocket
                       F
'Cos here comes the blackout...!

F                                 
Now the hooded snake controls your
  G
 mind
It stole your eye on the seventh of 
 F

Before our neighbours start scaring

Before they frighten the love out of
 us

In the story of the matchstick girl
                            G
She was freezing on the streets of 
Petersburg
           Am
She lit a match and found a warmer 
world
                      F
But here comes the blackout...!
