Fantastic song, they must be the best live band in existence.
For more power you can play in drop D, like so:

F (during the chorus) = x33211
 = x13331
 = x02220

i woke up with the power out, not really somethin to shout about.
                                                                                             
ice has covered up my parents hands, don't have any dreams don't have any plans.
                                                                              
i went out into the night, i went out to find some light.
                                                                              
kids are swingin from the power lines, nobody's home so nobody minds

                                                                                        
i woke up on the darkest night, neighbors all were shouting that they found the light -
"we found the light."
                                                                               
shadows jumpin' all over my walls, some of them big, some of them small.
                                                                              
i went out into the night i went out to pick a fight with anyone.
                                                          
light a candle for the kids, jesus christ don't keep it hid!                    D5

growin' up in some strange storm, nobody's cold, nobody's warm.
