Verse

D MajorD       A7A7
I woke up this morning
     D MajorD        A7A7
Same old questions in my head
D MajorD                   A7A7
At least the weather's getting cooler now
  Bm7Bm7            Gsus2Gsus2
No longer forced to leave my bed
  D MajorD           A7A7
The sun shines through my window
D MajorD              A7A7
Makes my old house creak and moan
D MajorD                  A7A7
Reminds me of the old lady down the market
        Dm7Dm7            Gsus2Gsus2
Sitting in the sun, stretching her weary bones

     G+G A augmentedA G+G       A augmentedA
And I'll leave the light on
G+G     A augmentedA
So you can see
   G+G A augmentedA G+G       A augmentedA
I'll leave the light on
G+G         A7A7
Should you decide to visit me

Verse

D MajorD        A7A7        D MajorD        A7A7
Time is time and time is time and time just rolls along
   D MajorD           A7A7
It's with you every second
     Bm7Bm7       Gsus2Gsus2
Though it has no shape or form
  D MajorD        A7A7
Sometimes I get so anxious
    D MajorD       A7A7
As your path leads you away
   D MajorD         A7A7
But I know it's only my loneliness
    Bm7Bm7       Gsus2Gsus2
And it passes with the day

Verse

   D MajorD          A7A7
I've been an angry and a jealous man
   D MajorD        A7A7
And I have no right to be
D MajorD          A7A7
Perhaps it's just my wicked, wicked ways
Bm7Bm7      Gsus2Gsus2
Catching up to me
      D MajorD           A7A7
Still I've done my time and I've paid the price
     D MajorD          A7A7
After all what's just a little pain
   D MajorD       A7A7
If I learn from my mistakes
    Bm7Bm7       Gsus2Gsus2
Then my loss becomes my gain

      G+G A augmentedA G+G       A augmentedA
Still I'll leave the light on
G+G     A augmentedA
So you can see
   G+G A augmentedA G+G       A augmentedA
I'll leave the light on
G+G         A augmentedA
Should you decide
G+G      A augmentedA      D11D11 C# minorC#m B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/F#D/F# A7A7
Should you decide to visit me

Verse

D MajorD          A7A7
This is the end that is no end
   D MajorD           A7A7
With the beginning yet to come
       D MajorD          A7A7
I'm going to throw the doors wide open
       Bm7Bm7      Gsus2Gsus2
I'm going to let my spirit run
       D MajorD             A7A7
I'm going to take the path that is most yielding
    D MajorD           A7A7
And in time my steps shall disappear
   D MajorD             A7A7
I'll pound my head against the wall no more
    Bm7Bm7      Gsus2Gsus2
I'll be still so I can hear

Verse

     D MajorD      A7A7
And if I drop all my pretensions
   D MajorD          A7A7
About how much you broke my heart
 D MajorD        A7A7
I really do feel grateful
    Bm7Bm7     Gsus2Gsus2
As we drift further apart
    D MajorD         A7A7
I will follow my distant vision
       D MajorD      A7A7
I'm going to listen to my voice
  D MajorD          A7A7
You showed me the way to freedom
      Bm7Bm7      Gsus2Gsus2 G+G A augmentedA
You really made the only choice


G+G      A augmentedA
And so you see
   G+G A augmentedA G+G       A augmentedA
I'll leave the light on
G+G         A augmentedA
Should you decide
G+G         A augmentedA      D11D11
Should you ever decide to visit me

End
