Home Leave The Lights On

INTRO:  C

VERSE:
F       C             G        C
 Cold snapped like a coiled spring
         F         C          G
You can feel the frost coming on
        F   C       G            
We are marigolden dropping orange
     Am
 and umber,
 G             C   C
Barely holding on
      G             C
Just barely holding on

        F             C      
And now   downtown's dolled up 
   G         C
tinsel and angels
          F         C         G  
Seasons sneak like haircuts, 
              C
teased apart and tangled
          F             C         
We were fraying for a while, and 
   G           Am
we took it all down
      C                    G   
Like garland hanging off traffic 
   C
signals


CHORUS:
  F
Leave the lights on

Cause it might be nighttime
        C
When I get there
                   G
But I'm on my way home

  F
Leave the lights on

Cause it might be nighttime
        C
When I get there
        G          C
And I'm on my way home


VERSE:
F             C                G 
  Putting on old clothes in a new 
  C
way
F                 C         G    C
  Putting on the pose of a new stage
      F          C          G    
Waking  up everyday just a little
       Am
 bit changed
        C         G         C
As it breaks over us like waves

F               C       G        
 And long live beauty short live 
 C
pain
F          C          G       C
 Lust for wonder and hunger pangs
F           C          G        Am
 Face your fears, but not your shame
         C            G     C
Doesn't end it just wears away


CHORUS:
  F
Leave the lights on

Cause it might be nighttime
        C
When I get there
                   G
But I'm on my way home

  F
Leave the lights on

Cause it might be nighttime
        C
When I get there
        G          C
And I'm on my way home


VERSE;
            F       C            
I've been clawing away at what's 
G      C
underneath
  F          C      G            
Closer than solid ground beneath 
      C
your feet
  F           C         G    
Closer, even now, than lips and 
    Am
teeth
  C               G      C
Closer now, then out of reach

BDA K:
         F      C                
And the body remembers what the 
G       C
mind forgets
  F              C           
Archives every heartbreak, and 
   G
cigarette
           F     C
And these reset bones
      G         Am
They might not hold,
     G                   C
Yeah, but they might yet


CHORUS:
  F
Leave the lights on

Cause it might be nighttime
        C
When I get there
                   G
And I'm on my way home


OUTRO:
  F
Leave the lights on

Cause it might be nighttime
        C
When I get there
        G          C   C
And I'm on my way home
    G          C   C
I'm on my way home
    G          C    C
I'm on my way home
