Leave a light on
Dm
1. The second someone mentioned you were all alone
Bb
I could feel the trouble
coursing through your veins,
F C
now I
know, it's got a hold.
Dm
Just a phone call left
unanswered had me sparking up,
Bb
these
cigarettes won't stop me wondering where you are,
F
C
don't
let go, keep a hold !
Dm
If you look into the distance,
there's a house upon the hill,
Bb
guiding
like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be safe
F
to
feel at grace 'cause we've all made mistakes.
C
If you've
lost your way...
Dm - Bb F
- C
I will leave the light on, I will leave the light on.
Dm - Bb F
- C
I will leave the light on, I
will leave the light on.
Dm
2. Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind,
Bb
lately
you've been searching for a darker place
F
C
to
hide, that's alright.
Dm
But if you carry on abusing,
you'll be robbed from us,
Bb
I refuse to lose another
friend to drugs,
F
C
just
come home, don't let go.
Dm
If you look into the distance,
there's a house upon the hill,
Bb
guiding
like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be safe
F
to
feel at grace, 'cause we've all made mistakes.
C
If you've
lost your way...
Dm - Bb F - C
I will leave the light on, I will leave the light on.
Dm - Bb F - C
I will leave the light on, I will leave the light on.
+ I will leave the
light on.
Dm
If you look into the distance,
there's a house upon the hill,
Bb
guiding
like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be safe
F
to
feel at grace, and if you’ve lost your way,
C
if
you've lost your way, I will leave the light on.
Dm
+ And I know you don't
know, oh, but I need you to be brave,
Bb
hiding
from the truth ain't gonna
make this all okay.
F
I'll see your pain if you
don't feel our grace
C
and
you've lost your way…
Dm - Bb F - C
+ I will leave the
light on, I will leave the light on !
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dm
'Cause I
will leave the light on.
