Intro:
G#7sus4 G#7sus4/C# G#7sus4/E G#7sus4/F#
G#7sus4 G#7sus4/C# G#7sus4/E G#7sus4/F# G#7sus4
Verse 1:
G#sus4
Living in a dream
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
That I can't wake from
G#sus4
And day to day
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
The nights all seem the same
G#sus4
Running from a thought
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
I can't escape from
G#sus4
A memory catches up with me
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#5
And I don't have the strength to fight it
C#5 E5
And when I sleep
F#5 G#5
I am hunted
C#5
By my darkest fears
E5 F#5 C#5
In the cleverest disguises
G#7sus4 G#7sus4/C# G#7sus4/E G#7sus4/F# G#7sus4
Verse 2:
G#sus4
No one will ever know
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
The shadowed
stormy
spiral of my mind
G#sus4
The crushing weight of the twisted spectres
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#5
Brings me down
down
G#5
And at the bottom is a hollow lightless prison
C#5 E5 F#5 G#5
With a broken carousel of nightmares
G#5
Where I am sentenced to the reassembly of the fragments
C#5 E5 F#5 G#5
That go around and around
C#5
And in the funhouse mirror
E5 F# G#sus4
Of my introspection
C#5
I see a woman
E5 F#5 C#5
Whose forgotten how to pray
C#5 E5
And my brain and my body
F#5 G#5
Just had a heart to heart
C#5
And they don't reckon
E5 F#5 C#sus2
I can go on long this way
Chorus:
G#m E
Lucy, leave the light on
B F#/A#
I can't see
G#m E
I'm trying to find my way
B F#/A#
But I don't know where I'm supposed to be
F#
And if the light within you
E G#m B
Can find the light still left in me
F#/A# C#sus4
I can finally let go
C#sus4/E C#sus4/F#
G#9sus4 G#9sus4/C# G#9sus4/E G#9sus4/F# G#9sus4
Verse 3:
G#sus4
Living in a world
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
That doesn't understand your beautiful soul
G#sus4
You can't take it with you when you go, no
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
And you're not afraid of losing
G#sus4
Keeping a promise, knowing
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#sus4
No one else will ever hold you
G#sus4
Oh your love is a mystery
G#sus4/C# G#sus4/E G#sus4/F# G#5
Your devotion's your un- doing
C#5
There's a man at the door
C#5
Says he wants your heart
E5 F#5 G#5
But you know he just wants own you
C#5
Daddy's all gone, and Mama won't listen
E5 F#5 G#5
And the governor's on his side
C#5
You can live and die
E5 F#5 G#5
By a rich man's lie
C#5 E5 F#5 G#5
Or be damned for your decision
C#5
They couldn't move you though they tried
E5 F#5 G#5
They couldn't burn you with their fire
C#5 E5 F#5 C#sus2
Took your body, took your eyes, but not your vision
Chorus:
G#m E
Lucy, leave the light on
B F#/A#
I can't see
G#m E
I'm trying to find my way
B F#/A#
But I don't know where I'm supposed to be
F#
And if the light within you
E G#m B
Can find the light still left in me
F#/A# C#sus4
I won't be so alone
Bridge:
C#
Gadd2
I'm flying along at the edge of the world
Gadd2/A B
And there isn't a cloud in the sky
Gadd2
But the water is where the earth should be
Gadd2/A B
And it's rushing down over the side
Gadd2
And the closer I get, the surer I am
Gadd2/A
That there's no turning back
Gadd2/A
This is it, it's the end
Gadd2/A
And then it
Bsus2
Shifts
A
Something deep inside me
Esus4 E Bsus2
Brings me back to life
A Esus4
The darkness fills with light
E F#
And I begin again
Gadd2
I'm finding my way at the top of the world
Gadd2/A B
And the path isn't easy to see
Gadd2
But if I just keep it up
It can't get me down
Gadd2/A
And if I just keep moving
B
I might get free
Gadd2
If I just have faith, if I just hang on
Gadd2/A
If I follow my heart, I can't go wrong
Gadd2/A
And then it
Bsus2
breaks
A
And I wonder
Esus4 E D
Was any of it real
Chorus:
G#m E
Lucy, leave the light on
B
I can't see
G#m E
I'm trying to find my way
B F#/A#
But I don't know where I'm supposed to be
F#
And if the light within you
E F# G#m B
Can find the light still left in me
F#5/C# C#sus2 G#sus4/C#
Then I will know
