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
