Leave The Light On
(Bjarne Schmidt, DK)
B F#/A#
I seen myself with a dirty face,
C#m
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
E
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
B F#/A#
I went from zero to minus ten
C#m
I drank your wine then, I stole your man
E F# B
I leave the light on, I leave that light on.
G#m E F#
B F#/A#
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
C#m
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
E
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
B F#/A#
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
E
Was it something I did, must be something I said
C#m Em
I leave the light on, better leave the light on.
B G#m
I wanna love, I wanna live
E
I don't know much about it
Em
I never did, no no
17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
21 on the run, on the run from myself
From myself and everyone
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
Better leave the light on.
B G#m
Cause I wanna love, I wanna live
E
I don't know much about it
Em
I never did,
B G#m
I don't know what to do, can the damage be undone
C#m Em
I swore to God that I'd never be what I've become
E B
Lucky stars and fairy tales
F# G#m
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
E B
Pretty scars from cigarettes
A E E/F#
I never will forget, I never will forget
B F#/A#
I'm still afraid to be alone
C#m
Wish that moon would follow me home
E
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
B F#/A#
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up
E Em
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough
