When The Lights Go Out

You say you have a best friend, you trust him with your life 
      
You trust him with your money, you trust him with your kids 
 
You'd even trust him with your wife

You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out 
                Asus                  G                   D 
When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around 
        Asus                   G                     E   E*  
When the lights are out, down in this dirty little town 
 
E  E*   E  E*  
 
E 
Well now the world is dark and funny, better listen up to what I say 
 
You ain't gonna know what's going on by what you see in the light of day 
 
 
             Asus                             D 
You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

            Asus                 G                      E   E*  
Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town

Now, Baby, she trusted Billy, within reason, you understand? 
        Asus                       E 
But he kept coming home late at night  
            N.C.*(tap guitar)                                      
And in the morning he had that smell on his hands

Well now the world is turning, Rome is burning 
                                
Me, I'm watching and I'm learning 
 
They say sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock 
 
The lord's light will shine under every dirty rock  
 
Last night I slept the sleep of fear 
 
And I heard God's voice whispering in my ear  
 
 
               Asus                             D
