Leave The Light On


This chord: 0-0-2-2-0-0 I call @ and it is quite essential in this song...

(Bjarne Schmidt, DK)


@                          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
@                         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


@                                  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
@                                 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 

@                       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
@                               E/G#
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up 
                         D      Dm
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough 


Cause I wanna love...


God bless the child with the dirty face 
Who cuts her luck with a dirty ace 
She leaves the light on, I leave that light on
