E                 A  G
Don't it hurt so bad
E                            A   G
When you're standin' in the sun
E                      A  G
In the bottom of your heart
           E          A G
You don't love no one

Chorus:
E        A G
You can be
E      A  G
Oh so mean
E             A  G
I just can't see
E         A   G
No in between
A
You know what the sun's all about
          E         A G
When the lights go out

What a way to live
Back of your class
The end of the line
You're always last

Chorus

See the moon
See the stars
From your lonely seat
In lonely cars

Chorus

Lights go out
Lights go out
Lights go out
Lights go out
Alright
