[Verse 1]
          E           D
I had the time, but I blew it
          A      D     E
I had the power, and I knew it
                       D
Had the energy, but outgrew it
     A                E
The identity, but saw through it, yeah

[Verse 2]
E                       D
I had the walk, but got trampled
        A      D      E
Had the taste, it was sampled
                  D
Had the engine, dismantled
        A      D      E
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
A            D                     E                    F#m
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
     E                    D
That turns on the endless night
     A            E       F#m
That turns on the endless night
     E                    D     E  A
That turns on the endless night

[Verse 3]
             E          D
If there's a wire, must cross it
             A     D    E
If there's a coin, must toss it
                    D
If it's dirt, can't wash it
        A     D          E
It's my head, just don't cosh it

[Verse 4]
                         D
There's a door, but they shut it
       A           E
We all bleed, they cut it
                      D
It's so dark when you don't fit
       A         D         E
It's a gauntlet, you gotta run it, oh baby

[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
That turns on the endless night
     A            E       F#m
That turns on the endless night
     E                    D    E
That turns on the endless night
A                   E     A
Turn on the endless night

Turn on the endless, turn on the endless,
                    E
Turn on the endless night

[Verse 5]
             E           D
If there's a cross, then bear it
             A     D    E
If there's a loss, then share it
                        D
If there's a risk let's dare it
        A             E
If it's blindness, outstare it

[Chorus]
                D              A            E
I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden baby
           D                       E                    F#m
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
     E                    D
That turns on the endless night
     A            E       F#m
That turns on the endless night
     E                    D
That turns on the endless night
     A            E       F#m
That turns on the endless night
      E                   D
Let's turn on the endless night
     A           E       F#m
Just turn on the endless night
      E                   D
Let's turn on the endless night
    E                   D
And turn on the endless night
D    E
Turn
                    D     E  D  E  D
Turn on the endless night
