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