Dm                      Am
On the empty streets of this snowing town
    G
The melting shadows fade
        Dm              Am          G
And the dark is creeping up on me again
      Dm                       Am
In between these sheets were I lay you down
   G
I tried to find some rest
      Dm                Am                G
So I reach out for the switch but why pretend.

                        F             Am
Cause I can't turn the lights out now
  C             G
I see your face
                      F             Am
No, I can't turn the lights out now
   C             G
My heart will break
                    F                     Am
Cause everything I see will end up killin me
      C              G
All over, all over again
                     F
So I can't turn the lights out
           Am          C    G
Turn the lights out

          Dm                         Am
There's a clock that stopped ticking by the bed
    G
The second you were gone
        Dm                Am                     C
And it feels just like my heart stopped beating too

           Dm                  Am
Cause it's hard to keep those promises
  G
I made when I was strong
            Dm      Am              G
And now I'm haunted by the ghost of you

                      F             Am
And I can't turn the lights out now
  C        G
I see your face
                       F            Am
No, I can't turn the lights out now
    C          G
My heart will break
                    F                      Am
Cause everything I see will end up killing me
     C               G
All over, all over again
                      F
So I can't turn the lights out
            Am         C   G
Turn the lights out

( Dm F Am G )

        Dm           F
It's so hard holding on
        Am               G
It's so hard that you're gone
        Dm           F
It's so hard holding on
          Am               G
Don't you know? don't you know?

                  F             Am
I can't turn the lights out now
   C         G
I see your face
                      F             Am
No, I can't turn the lights out now
    C           G
My heart will break
                    F                      Am
Cause everything I see will end up killing me
     C              G
All over, all over again
                   F
I can't turn the lights out
            Am         C   G
Turn the lights out

                     F
So I can't turn the lights out
            Am
(Turn the lights out)
