Leave The Light On
(Bjarne Schmidt, DK)
A E/G#
I seen myself with a dirty face,
Bm
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
D
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
A E/G#
I went from zero to minus ten
Bm
I drank your wine then, I stole your man
D E A
I leave the light on, I leave that light on.
F#m D E
A E/G#
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
Bm
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
D
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
A E/G#
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
D
Was it something I did, must be something I said
Bm Dm
I leave the light on, better leave the light on.
A F#m
I wanna love, I wanna live
D
I don't know much about it
Dm
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.
A F#m
Cause I wanna love, I wanna live
D
I don't know much about it
Dm
I never did,
A F#m
I don't know what to do, can the damage be undone
Bm Dm
I swore to God that I'd never be what I've become
D A
Lucky stars and fairy tales
E F#m
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
D A
Pretty scars from cigarettes
G D D/E
I never will forget, I never will forget
A E/G#
I'm still afraid to be alone
Bm
Wish that moon would follow me home
D
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
A E/G#
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up
D Dm
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough
