Elbow — Switching Off Chords
Elbow
'Switching off' from Cast of Thousands
Tabbed by W.M.Lewis (wade_lewis@yahoo.com)
CHORDS: Verse & Bridge (B, F#, G#m, E); Chorus (E, F#, B)
VERSE 1
B F#
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
G#m E
And a final scene unfolds inside
B F#
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
G#m E
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
B F#
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
G#m E
Love's first blush
CHORUS 1
E F#
Is this making sense?
E
What am I trying to say?
F#
Early evening June
E
This room and a radio play
F#
This I need to save
E
I choose my final thoughts today
F# B
Switching off with you
VERSE 2
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like, like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you
CHORUS 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
BRIDGE
B
Ran to ground, ran to ground
F# G#m E
But I came off, I came off pretty well, I came off pretty well
B F#
Ran to ground, ran to ground, for a while there
G#m E
But I came off pretty well, and I came off pretty well
E F# B
Ah ah ah ah
B
(Deep in a rain of sparks behind his brow)
E F# B
Ah ah ah ah
CHORUS 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
