C
When society's crumbled
F C
And everything's gone,
F
When the cars are all rusted away
C
When there ain't no more money,
F C
And there's nothing to buy,
Dm G
And all that we have is the day
C
When the world becomes silent,
F C
No planes in the air
F
And the voices just gather to sing
C
When the guns are the fence posts
F C
And the cars are the dog house
Dm G
And the telephones no longer ring
F
C
And what, what of the night
F C G F
With no electrical light ?
G
So what then ?
C F F/E Dm G
You, you and the candles will be all that I need
C
F
F/E Dm
G
Your face bathed in the firelight will be all I want to see
F G
And I'll still sing you a song
E
Am
Am/G
That'll last the whole night long
F G
You, you and the candles
When the grocery stores are hollow inside,
And the airports are filled with the breeze
After the anarchy finally subsides,
When you reckon with how it will be
When empires are humbled for the eyes of the people
And the truth will be like a parade
When industry's fallen, we'll make our own clothes now
The 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'll last the whole night long
You, you and the candles
Dm
In the waste paper basket
Bb
The timing's fantastic
F C
For lovers to mean what they say
Dm Bb
And a night lit in candles on stained wooden mantles
G
C
Keep us safe 'till the night turns to day
F Bb
Bb/A
You, you and the storm clouds
Gm
C
And the puddles at our feet
F Bb
Bb/A
The lightning cuts through the heavens
Gm C
And lights you so bravely
Bb C
And I'll still write you a song
A Dm
Dm/C
To last the whole night long
Bm C
You, you and the candles
Bm C
F
You, you and the candles
G D
Goodbye to radio
Am Em D
C
Goodbye to the things that we know
G D
And calculate passages
Am Em D C
And bloom like a tiger lilly in July
C/B Am
And lovers will die
D
G D
C
And lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen
C/B
Am
So stop telling lies
D
G D
C
And start falling blind in the deepest of seas
Salvaged by wondering
Weighed down by tears that you wish you could cry
And I want to make love with you
Spread you so wide
Like the bluest of nights
And lovers will die
And lovers will rise past the darkness we've seen
So stop telling lies
And start falling blind in the deepest of seas

Ice age
G#m
Don't cry, baby
A
G#m F#m
'Cause we'll ride it where it goes
A
G#m F#m
And we'll dress up for the cold
E
B
It's gonna be nice days in the ice age
And I learnt when I was in school
It only moves an inch or two
Every other day
So I think we'll be okay
It's gonna be nice days in the ice age
There's little left to say
That our love won't melt away
So have another glass of wine
And I think it will be fine
There's gonna be nice days in the ice age
Oh yeah...
Gb
And the saddest thing would be
Bbm
If you up and said to me
B
Bbm Abm
That you tired of running scared
B
Bbm Abm
And you really don't care
Gb
Db
About the ice age, baby
Ab
So maybe we'd lie down
Cm
And we'd kiss there on the ground
Db
Cm Bbm
As we're taken by the ice
Db Cm
Bbm
And in fact it might be nice
Ab
Eb
It's gonna be nice days in the ice age
A
And in ten thousand years time
C#m
When we're found there, still entwined
D C#m
Bm
In a near eternal kiss
D
C#m Bm
That would impress the scientists
A E
It's gonna be nice days in the ice age
A C#m
Oooh...
