[Verse 1]
         A                     
And the lights go on as the belts 
C#7 C#m
grow tighter it seems more
F#m                           Dm
difficult to walk through the fire
                    A     C#7 C#m
to walk through the fire
F#m     Dm
on your own
          A                     
you gotta hold it back when you 
C#7 C#m
learn it early on
             F#m                   
that you can have what you want if 
      Dm                        A  
you take it away from someone
C#7 C#m

F#m              Dm Dm
from somebody else

A C#7 F#m Dm

A C#7 F#m Dm

[Chorus 1]
            A5            B5
becasue you try to do the best that 
you can but it gets
D5                         E5
taken away again and again and again
Continues after the ad
  A5                 B5         
it gets it gets tougher to be a 
D5              E5
person that you respect
A          B7                D  
do you get desperate when you 
     E
get alone
A          B7                D  
do you get desperate when you 
     E
get alone

A B7 D E x2

[Chorus 2]
A5             B5                
And the lights go off and on and 
       D5    E5
off and on
A5             B5                
And the lights go off and on and 
       D5    E5
off and on
A              B7                
And the lights go off and on and 
       D     E
off and on
A              B7                
And the lights go off and on and 
       D     E
off and on

[verse 2]
A E F#m Dm
A E F#m Dm

A                            E
And the lights go off as the wallets
 get bigger
             F#m                
it makes the few good folks left 
      Dm
feel sicker and sicker
          A                 E
you gotta hold it back when time 
weares thin
             F#m                 
learn not to get that upset about 
     Dm
this sort of thing
                       A E F#m   
and just hope          that it 
               Dm
all works out
    A
but hope got trademarked
            E
by elected  politicians
          F#m                
and now it's so tough to hope 
                    Dm
without feeling deceptive
     A               B7
but i believe it's alright
     D                    E       
to believe it's gonna be allright
              D Am
