Intro: D A7 D A7 D A7 Bm7 Gsus2

Verse

D              A7
I woke up this morning
         D               A7
Same old questions in my head
D                                     A7
At least the weather's getting cooler now
   Bm7                       Gsus2
No longer forced to leave my bed
    D                     A7
The sun shines through my window
D                            A7
Makes my old house creak and moan
D                                   A7
Reminds me of the old lady down the market
               Dm7                       Gsus2
Sitting in the sun, stretching her weary bones

         G A G              A
And I'll leave the light on
G          A
So you can see
     G A G              A
I'll leave the light on
G                 A7
Should you decide to visit me

Verse

D                A7               D               A7
Time is time and time is time and time just rolls along
     D                     A7
It's with you every second
          Bm7             Gsus2
Though it has no shape or form
    D               A7
Sometimes I get so anxious
        D              A7
As your path leads you away
      D                 A7
But I know it's only my loneliness
       Bm7             Gsus2
And it passes with the day

Verse

     D                    A7
I've been an angry and a jealous man
      D                A7
And I have no right to be
D                    A7
Perhaps it's just my wicked, wicked ways
Bm7            Gsus2
Catching up to me
           D                     A7
Still I've done my time and I've paid the price
          D                    A7
After all what's just a little pain
     D              A7
If I learn from my mistakes
        Bm7             Gsus2
Then my loss becomes my gain


           G A G              A
Still I'll leave the light on
G          A
So you can see
     G A G              A
I'll leave the light on
G                 A
Should you decide
G            A           D11 C#m Bm A G D/F# A7
Should you decide to visit me

Verse

D                    A7
This is the end that is no end
     D                     A7
With the beginning yet to come
             D                    A7
I'm going to throw the doors wide open
             Bm7           Gsus2
I'm going to let my spirit run
             D                          A7
I'm going to take the path that is most yielding
       D                      A7
And in time my steps shall disappear
     D                         A7
I'll pound my head against the wall no more
        Bm7            Gsus2
I'll be still so I can hear

Verse

         D            A7
And if I drop all my pretensions
      D                   A7
About how much you broke my heart
  D               A7
I really do feel grateful
       Bm7          Gsus2
As we drift further apart
       D                 A7
I will follow my distant vision
             D            A7
I'm going to listen to my voice
    D                    A7
You showed me the way to freedom
           Bm7           Gsus2  G A
You really made the only choice


G           A
And so you see
     G A G              A
I'll leave the light on
G                 A
Should you decide
G                 A           D11
Should you ever decide to visit me

End
