Dm    G    Dm7
Dm    G    Dm7


              Dm    G    Dm7
Daylight come
              Dm    G    Dm7
Daylight go
                      Dm    G    Dm7
How far will it reach
                   Dm    G    Dm7
Ain't nobody know


                         Dm    G    Dm7
And when the dawn breaks
                      Dm    G    Dm7
The cradle will fall
                    Dm    G    Dm7
And down come baby
                Dm    G    Dm7
Cradle and all


                              Dm    G    Dm7
Now I know you need the dark
                         Dm    G    Dm7
Just as much as the sun
                             Dm    G    Dm7
But you're signing on forever
                         Dm    G    Dm7
When you ink it in blood


[Chorus 1]

A.E.I.O.U.   E.I.O.U.      A.E.I.O.U.     I.


                            Dm    G    Dm7
I used my state of the art
             Dm    G    Dm7
Technology
                                   Dm    G    Dm7
Supposed to make for better living
                           Dm    G    Dm7
Are we better human beings


                                Dm    G    Dm7
We've got our wires all crossed
                        Dm    G    Dm7
Our tubes are all tied
                             Dm    G    Dm7
And I'm straining to remember
                               Dm    G    Dm7
Just what it means to be alive


                    Dm    G    Dm7
A life worth living
                                   Dm    G    Dm7
Now you can feel it in your chest
                              Dm    G    Dm7
Building like little bullets
                           Dm    G    Dm7
Just building up the nest


                           Dm    G    Dm7
And you build it up strong
                              Dm    G    Dm7
And you fill it up with love
                            Dm    G    Dm7
And you pray for good rain
                        Dm    G    Dm7
All from the lord above


[Chorus 2]

A.E.I.O.U.   E.I.O.U.      A.E.I...

                            Dm    G    Dm7
I used my state of the art
             Dm    G    Dm7
Technology
                          Dm    G    Dm7
Now don't you forget it
                    Dm    G    Dm7
It ain't using me


                               Dm    G    Dm7
Cause when the power goes out
                  Dm    G    Dm7
I got other means...
                            Dm    G    Dm7
Cause the power's going out
                             Dm    G    Dm7
I mean the power's going out
                                Dm    G    Dm7
I mean it the power's going out
