(E)  A           E         D                    A    D     E
Uh,   I had the time but I blew it,  I had the power and I knew it
                         D              A      D         E
had the energy, but outgrew it, the identity but saw through it, yeah
            E              D               A     D        E
I had the walk, but got trampled, had the taste, it was sampled
                    D                A     D       E         
Had the engine dismantled, had the flame, but no candle
 
CHORUS
                 D                            E      
I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now 
            D                       E                    F#m
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
        E                    D          A           E        F#m
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night 
      E                     D    E
that turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh
 
Ah, if there's a wire, must cross it, if there's a coin, must toss it
If it's dirt can't wash it, It's my head, d-don't cosh it
There's a door, but they shut it, we all bleed, they cut it
It's so dark when you don't fit, it's a gauntlet you gotta run it oh baby
                       A           E
REPEAT CHORUS (plus) Turn on the endless night
Instrumental verse (then)
 B
Turn on the endless, turn on the endless, turn on the endless
 
If there's a cross, then bear it, if there's a loss, then share it
If it's a risk let's dare it, if it's blindness, outstare it
 
REPEAT CHORUS (plus)
                            D                        A            E       F#m
That turns on the endless night, (That, just, and) turns on the endless night 
        E                    D       E 
Let's turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh (repeat with variations and fade)
