A
I woke up with the power out
                                  D
Not really something to shout about
A
Ice has covered up my parents hands
                                        D
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
A#
I went out into the night
                         F
I went out to find some light
A#
Kids are swingin' from the power lines
                          F
Nobody's home, so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night
Neighbors all were shouting that
they found the light
(We found the light!)
Shadows jumping all over my walls
Some of them big, some of them small
I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ, don't keep it hid!

A
Ice has covered up my parents hands
                                        D
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
A
Growin' up in some strange storm
                         D
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm
A#
I went out into the night
                         F
I went out to find some light
A#
Kids are dyin' out in the snow,
                              Dm
Look at them go, look at them go!
   F    Dm    F
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
   Dm   F    Dm
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

A#       F       Dm
And the power's out
       C         A#
In the heart of man
          F        Dm
Take it from your heart
       C        A
Put it in your hand
A
What's the plan? What's the plan?

A#
Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
                        F
I think I'll let you decide
A#
Just light a candle for the kids
                            Dm
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!

F
'Cause nothin's hid
         Dm
From us kids
F
You ain't foolin' nobody
                 Dm
With the lights out!
   F    Dm   F
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

A#       F       Dm
And the power's out
        C        A#
In the heart of man
         F         Dm
Take it from your heart
       C        A#
Put it in your hand

A#           F           Dm
And there's something wrong
        C        A#
In the heart of man
          F         Dm
Take it from your heart
       C        A#
Put it in your hand
