Leave The Light On Tab

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)


@                          
I seen myself with a dirty face, 
                           
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
                      
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
@                         
I went from zero to minus ten 
                                     
I drank your wine then, I stole your man
                                            
I leave the light on, I leave that light on.

@                                  
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
                                      
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up 
                     
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
@                                 
Little girl hiding underneath the bed 
                                            
Was it something I did, must be something I said
                                     
I leave the light on, better leave the light on. 


                      
I wanna love, I wanna live 
             
I don't know much about it
         
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. 

                            
Cause I wanna love, I wanna live 
             
I don't know much about it
         
I never did,
                                            
I don't know what to do, can the damage be undone
                                           
I swore to God that I'd never be what I've become 

                
Lucky stars and fairy tales
                       
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well 
                 
Pretty scars from cigarettes
                                        
I never will forget, I never will forget 

@                       
I'm still afraid to be alone 
                               
Wish that moon would follow me home 
                     
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
@                               
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up 
                               
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
