The Vaselines - Last Half Hour

      The Vaselines - Last Half Hour

[Intro]
C   F   G   Am
F   C   G

[Verse 1]
C          F                 G            Am                       F
 Stepping into the spotlight, made up and dressed for this special night
                C                    G
Tongue tied, my heart’s beating fast, same jokes and tired laughs
C              F              G                  Am
 Rehearsed and fully prepared, lines learned but I’m feeling scared
F              C                 G
 Dutch courage flows in my veins, needed more but the bottle is drained

[Chorus]
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show

[Verse 2]
C              F           G                Am
 Went wrong too many times, missed cues, forgotten punchlines
F               C                   G
 I was down, my words wouldn’t flow, different time but the same old show
C           F              G                  Am
 My posters faded and torn, stage clothes are hanging unworn
F                    C                        G
 And the queues they stretch around the block, sit at home with the radio on

[Chorus]
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show

[Interlude]
C   F   G   Am
F   C   G
C   F   G   Am
F   C   G

[Chorus]
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show

[Ooh ooh's in the background]
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
F                      C
Switch on, switch off, dim the lights low
G
 Find the curtain, end of the show
