Standard Tuning:

Am

Never really said too much

C

Afraid it wouldn't be enough

G

Just try to keep my spirits up

Dm E

When there's no point in grieving

Am

Doesn't matter anyway

C

Words could never make me stay

G

Words will never take my place

Dm E

When you know I'm leaving

Chorus

F C

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

G Dm

Something I rely on to get home

F

One I can feel at night

C Am G

A naked light, a fire to keep me warm

F C

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

G Dm

Even in the daylight, shine on

F Am

And when it's late at night you can look

inside

G E

You won't feel so alone

—–

Am

You know we've been down that road

C

What seems a thousand times before

G Dm

E

My back to a closing door and my eyes to

the seasons

Am

That roll out underneath my heels

C

And you don't know how bad it feels

G Dm E

To leave the only one that I have ever

believed in

Chorus

Am - C - G - Dm

*Guitar solo*

D G

Sometimes it feels like we've run out of

luck

Bm Em D

When the signal keeps on breaking up

C G

When the wires cross in my brain

You'll start my heart again

Dsus A

When I come along, yeeaah

Chorus
