Intro: with Riff A 4x
Verse 1: with Riff A 1x, then Riff B 7x
F#5
last one turns the lights out, and
makes sure every curtain's drawn
nails the shutters shut, he's sure
we are not of this world for long
Pre-chorus 1: with Riff C 2x
B5
who do you think you are?
Ab5 A5
did you figure out the date?
B5
what do you hope to do
Ab5 A5
while you sit around and wait, wait, wait?
Verse 2: with Riff A 8x
F#5
last one turns the lights out, and
disconnects the answer-phone
stuffs all sense of mission, says
"I just can't turn the tide alone"
Pre-chorus 2: with Riff C 2x
B5
who do you think you are?
Ab5 A5
did you figure out the time?
B5
what do you hope to do
Ab5 A5
while you hide out and whine, whine, whine...
Chorus: with Riff D 2x
F#5
DON'T GO SHUTTIN' DOWN
A D

A D
'TIL THE FINAL SHOUT
A
AND THE FATHER SAYS, "WELL DONE"
Verse 3: with Riff B 4x, then on 3rd measure use Riff E 1x
F#5
last one turns the light out, and
just keeps playing dumb
these were his instructions, he's
not sure where he got 'em from
Pre-chorus 3: with Riff C 2x
B5

Ab5 A5
in a separate class?
B5
why do you buy the lie
Ab5 A5
of a faith under glass, glass, glass...

he's sitting there til the Second Coming
says he got mathematical proof
Pre-chorus 4: same as Pre-chorus 1
