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