The tab of this song that's up now sounds kind of off to me.
So I worked something out myself.
Sounds pretty dead on to me. Let me know what you think.
 
 
[Intro]
 
C G Em D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
                      C
The power lines went out
               G
And I am all alone
                    C
But I don’t really care at all
                   G
Not answering my phone
                    C
All the games you played
                  G
The promises you made
                          C
Couldn’t finish what you started
                     Am
Only darkness still remains
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
      C
Lost sight
         Am
Couldn’t see
C           D
When it was you and me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Blow the candles out
D                    Em
Looks like a solo tonight
      C           D
I’m beginning to see the light
G
Blow the candles out
D                   Em
Looks like a solo tonight
       C         D
But I think I’ll be alright
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
C G
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                      C
Been black and blue before
                      G
There’s no need to explain
             C
I am not the jaded kind
                  G
Playback’s such a waste
             C
You’re invisible
             G
Invisible to me
                  C
My wish is coming true
                          Am
Erase the memory of your face
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
      C
Lost sight
          Am
Couldn’t see
C           D
When it was you and me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Blow the candles out
D                    Em
Looks like a solo tonight
      C           D
I’m beginning to see the light
G
Blow the candles out
D                   Em
Looks like a solo tonight
       C         D
But I think I’ll be alright
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Am
One day
C
You will wake up
G                            D
With nothing but your 'sorry''s
Am
And someday
C
You will get back
G                   D
Everything you gave me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Blow the candles out
D                    Em
Looks like a solo tonight
      C           D
I’m beginning to see the light
G
Blow the candles out
D                   Em
Looks like a solo tonight
       C         D           G
But I think I’ll be alright
 
 
End on the G and let it ring.

I thought in place of the Am should be a D - sounds OK when I play it... Also think it sounds better with a Cadd9 instead of C Maj
