The light before

D A G D

VERSE
D
Nothing’s how you want it to be
A
It’s all going wrong with the economy
G A
It’s a dire state, and you can’t pass the blame

Every move to strengthen your position
Plays into the hands of the opposition
You’ve dropped the ball and might soon be out the game

CHORUS
D G
But just when you think things are never going to improve
D G
And you’ll never get back into the popular groove
A
Remember that
Em
It’s always darkest
A D
Just before it goes totally black
D D D D A G D

VERSE
You might think you’re somehow cursed
This is not how you rehearsed it
Over and over while you served out your time











The title that was decidedly yours
You had to wrestle from histories jaws
But the awaited reign’s becoming a perfect storm

CHORUS
And as you’re thinking they’ll never see the light
Of how you alone can make it right
Remember that
It’s always darkest
Just before it goes totally black

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
It’s hard to know where you should begin
You can’t even turn to spin
Your predecessor spun outta control

You’re looking around for new ideas
Trying to tackle the public’s fears
But you’re firefighting’s only fanning the flames

CHORUS
But just as you’re about to give up hope
And you feel that all the slack’s come out of the rope
Remember that
It’s always darkest
Just before it goes totally black
