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