Trick of the Light: By Jeff Olson
Am F
It’s too damn dark in here tonight
Fmaj7 Am
Our loudness suffocates the light
Am F
We’re losing all for which we’ve fought
Bm7b5 E
My conscience strangled in a knot
Am F
I’ll down another three or four
Fmaj7 Am
Who knows, I hover above the floor
Am F
Too dumb to let it pass me by
Bm7b5 E
Too tired to know the reason why…
(Refrain)
Am Dm7
Something happened it was a trick of the light
Fmaj7 E
Made me think what I was doing was alright
Am Fmaj7
I heard a noise it was the turn of a phrase
Bm7b5 E
That brought my whole world crashing down...
E
(All around me)
Am F
Can we go on the way we are?
Fmaj7 Am
Like innocence a lasting scar
Am F
Intoxicating my belief
Bm7b5 E
In ever rolling waves of grief
Am F
I try diluting all the blame
Fmaj7 Am
To ease my ever aching pain
Am F
Then look across the void again
Bm7b5 E
Hoping you’ll be there in the end.
(Refrain)
Am Dm7
Something happened it was a trick of the light
Fmaj7 E
Made me think what I was doing was alright
Am Fmaj7
I heard a noise it was the turn of a phrase
Bm7b5 E
That brought my whole world crashing down...
E
(All around me)
