Graham Parker - Dark side of the bright lights Lyrics

Pre>intro a asus2 a6 a a (twice) (the notes go c# b f# e c#)





A f#m g a

The party may wind downthe bottles are strewn and broken

D em7 a

The games are all played out like useless tokens

A f#m g a

The videos are scatteredtheir messages have screened and clattered

D em7a g

Discussing the actors as if they matteredthey mattered



C#m a c#ma

And Im not gaining any ground here

C#m a f#m

No Im not listening you do not care

G#m7 a g#m7 a

We are not driving in the same gear

A a c a

It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights

D d

Getting turned off again



The nights conversation might never really end up anywhere

The big mouths just open and close on fingers

The shal-la-la-la-low laughs they turned out to be hard reminders

And we only heard them playing behind us behind us



And Im not gaining any ground here

You are not listening you do not care

You are not whispering in the right ear

It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights

Getting turned off again



A c

I cant stand it I cant stand it

A c a

I cant even gain your attention I Ii i



Solo over c#m athen to f#m



And Im not gaining any ground here

No Im not listening you do not care

We are not driving in the same gear

C a

It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights

On the dark side of the bright lights

On the dark side of the bright lights

Getting turned off again (x3) /pre>
