G                        C            G                         D
When I was young I was frightened, by shadow monsters on my wall
    G                          C   Em C  G   Am                  D
And I was convinced they would get me in the dark, if I slept at all
  G                          C             Em                 A7sus A7
I know she was there in her bedroom, so I tip-toed down the hall
        C                     D                      G   C G
Laid my head on the floor and tried to see under her door

[Chorus]
C       D              G
I was looking for the light
      C           D                       G
When it was on I knew everything was alright
       C                   D                          Em         C
Before I could knock she'd open the door and I'd look up and seen that
  C
smile
            Am7               D                  G C D C G
She always knew, when I was looking for the light

   G                 C              G                        D
At 19 I had all the answers thought I could make it on my own
   G                   C    Em    C     G    Am                     D
As we were packing she said don't ever forget this is always your home
     G                    C           Em                 A7sus A7
Soon I foung a one room apartment has monsters of its own
        C                 D                   G  C G
So sometimes I go out and drive by that old house    (Repeat chorus)


G C                G             C           D         G
  I stood there filled with fear as she was passing away
C                     G           Am7                 D
 They said she can't hear you now all we can do is pray
       C                   D
As I squeezed her hand she opened her eyes
     Em                     C
And smiled for me one last time
           Am7                D                  G C D C
She always knew, when I was looking for the light
