"I like this song a lot, and uh, I don't know how to play it too well. The way I thought it was when I
heard it that, uh, 'Television could either break up a boy and a girl or bring them together.' So... I
didn't know which one it was."
True to the disclaimer, Jack White's lyrics deviate considerably from the Waxwings' (not always for
the worse). The chordal structure begins to disintegrate near the bridge.

RIFF E5 B5
That's the point of view that's vanishing my love for the screen
RIFF E5
And the first rays, yeah, stagger in through a sawdust haze
B5 RIFF E5
The television, it gives off the illusion that you're gonna stay here with me
CHORUS:
C#m B5
The moon that glows` has a glow, it's flashing light on a road `Meant to be "rose"
C#5 B5 F#5 A5 C#5 B5
And you're stealing fire everywhere that you go, oh, oh oh, ohh oh, oh yeah
F#5
VERSE 2:
Your angel's arms, they couldn't, couldn't get very far
That's sure not fun, that's a war I couldn't seem to have won
You're on the blink, yeah, movin' without electricity
It doesn't start to sink in, but it's picking up velocity
CHORUS:
The moon that rose has a glow, it's flashin' light on a road
And you're stealin' fire everywhere that you go, oh, oh oh, ohh oh, oh yeah
B5
BRIDGE:
B5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5
You're not too broken up, you're not too broken, oh yeah
A5 B5 F#5
And I can't seem to point to exactly what his would be
B5 A5 B5
It's just... just a fragile girl, dippin' in this 'lectricity
RIFF E5
And that's my point of view, movin' with much velocity
CHORUS:
Oh, well, the moon that rose has a glow, it's flashing light on a road
And you're stealin' fire everywhere that you go, oh oh ohh
Yeah, you're stealin' fire everywhere that you go, oh, oh oh, ohh oh, oh yeah
B5 A5 Bb5 B5
