Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Hit the Switch” dari Bright Eyes.
Capo 2
G
I'm staring out into that vacuum again
G/B
From the back porch of my mind
Am
The only thing that's alive
D
I'm all there is
G
And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw
G/B
My eyes have turned red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk
Am
You know I'll call you eventually, when I wanna talk
D
'Til then you're invisible
Em Em/D# Am D
'Cause there's a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
Em Em/D# Am D
And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth
Em Em/D# Am
I'm completely alone at a table of friends
D D
I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing
[Interlude]
G D Am D
G D Am D
Em Em/D# Am D
G
Well, I need a break from the city again
G/B
I think I'll ship myself back west
Am D
I got a friend there, she says, "hey, any time."
G
Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
G/B
she's under no obligation to indulge every whim
Am
And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives
D
And I keep forgetting it
Em Em/D# Am D
And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
Em Em/D# Am D
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
Em Em/D# Am
I said "I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
D D
I have some where I die, I have some where we all die."
[Interlude]
G D Am D

Em Em/D# Am D
F#m to G#m
G
I'm thinking of quitting drinking again
G/B
I know I said that a couple times
Am D
And I'm always changing my mind, well, I guess I am
G
But there's this burn in my stomach and there's this pain in my side
G/B
And when I kneel at the toilet
Am
And the morning's clean light pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
D
I'm a goddamn hypocrite
Em Em/D# Am D
But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense
Em Em/D# Am D
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
Em Em/D# Am
And so I do what I do and at least I exist
D
What could mean more than this?
D
What would mean more?
Mean more?
[Interlude]
