Am             F                             Dm          (Riff)
  Got a star, wonders why it's still off the earth, yeah
Am            F                      Dm       (Riff)
  A meteor, promises it's not gonna hit, yeah

When the lights go out, it's all you talk about
     Dm                          F   Em
The darkness where you learn to see
          Am             C
When the lights go out, don't you ever doubt
     Dm                       F  Em
The light that we can really be

Am                 F                      Dm        (Riff)
  Statues fall, democracy is flat on its back, Jack 
Am                     F                        Dm        (Riff)
  We had it all, and what we had is not coming back, Zack 
Am                        F                            Dm          (Riff)
  The big mouth says the people, they don't wanna be free for free
Am                   F                  Dm         (Riff)
