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