You And The Candles Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Cwhen societies crumble

and everythinFg's gone C

and the cars areC all rusted awFay

and thereC ain't no more money

and there's nFothing to bCuy

and all thDat we have is the dayG

Cwhen the world becomes silent

no plaFnes in the Cair

when Cthe voices just gather to Fsing

whCen the guns are the fence post

the cars Fare the doghouCse

and thDe telephones no longer rinGg

whFat, what of the nigCht

wiFth no electricalC ligGht F

so what thGen?

Cyou, you and the candlFes

wiDll be all that i Gneed

Cyour face bathed in the fireFlight

Dwill be all i want to seGe

Fand i'll still sing you a sGong

that will lE7ast the whole night lAong oGh

Fyou, you and the canGdles

when the grocery stores are hollow inside

and the airports are filled with a breeze

after the anarchy finally subsides

when you reckon with how it will be

when empires are humbled

before the eyes of the people

and the truth will be like a parade

when industry's fallen

we'll make our own clothes now

and gifts of our hands rise again

and what, what of the night

with no electrical light

so what then?

you, you and the candles

will be all that i need

your face bathed in the firelight

will be all i want to see

and i'll still sing you a song

that will last the whole night long

you, you and the candles

in a waste paper basket

the timing's fantastic

for lovers to mean what they say

and a night lit in candles

on stained wooden mantles

keep us safe 'til the night

turns to day

you, you and the storm clouds

and the puddles at our feet

the lightning cuts through the heavens

and light you so briefly

and i'll still write you a song

to last the whole night long

you, you and the candles

you, you and the candles
