Chords with lyrics
Capo 2nd Fret
D-A-G-D-Em
Intro
Just finger pick D-A-G-D with hammer pulls on the low root notes during chord changes.
Song Note: (Optional but I think it sounds better---On the A augmentedA chord just strum E-A-D strings)
D MajorD
I told you I d leave a light on
A augmentedA
In case you ever wanted to come back home
G+G D MajorD A/GA/G
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
D MajorD
I took you every word to heart
A augmentedA
Cause I can't stand us being apart
G+G A augmentedA
And just to show how much I really miss ya
Chorus:
D MajorD
Every light in the house is on
A augmentedA
The backyard's bright as the crack on dawn
G+G
The front walk looks like runway lights
A augmentedA
It s kinda like noon in the dead of night
D MajorD
Every light in the house is on
A augmentedA G+G
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
E minorEm D MajorD
Every light in the house is on
If I should ever start forgetting
I ll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it s over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you ll see a glow
That s me waiting at home each night to hold ya
