Turn The Lights Back On chords by Billy Joel

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: C

♫ Verse:

C               F
Please open the door
           G                           E
Nothing is different we've been here before
E/D          Am              D
Pacing these halls trying to talk
         Gsus4  G F Em
Over the silence
    C                    F
And pride sticks out his tongue
              G                  E
Laughs at the portrait that we become
E/D        Am              D
Stuck in a frame unable to change
      Gsus4  G F Em
I was wrong

♫ Chorus:

    C            F          G
I'm late but I'm here right now
         E       E/D  Am
Though I used to be romantic
     D       Gsus4  G
I forgot somehow
         F   G       C
Time can make you blind
      F       G
But I see you now
         E      E/D    Am
As we're laying in the darkness
      D        Gsus4 G
Did I wait too long
            F     G     C F Gsus4 G F Em
To turn the lights back on


♫ Verse 2:

C               F
Here stuck on a hill
          G                       E
Outsiders inside the home that we bulit
    E/D          Am                  D
The cold settles in it's been a long winter
     Gsus4 G F Em
Of indifference
              C                 F
And maybe you love me maybe you don't
             G                      E
Maybe you'll learn to and maybe you won't
E/D         Am                     D
You've had enough but I won't give up
   Gsus4  G F Em
On you


♫ Chorus 2:

    C            F          G
I'm late but I'm here right now
        E           E/D    Am
And I'm trying to find the magic
        D        Gsus4  G
That we lost somehow
      F G   C
Maybe I was blind
      F       G
But I see you now
         E      E/D    Am
As we're laying in the darkness
      D          Gsus4 G
Did I wait too long
       F           G
To turn the lights back on


♫ Solo:

♫ Chorus 3:

    C            F          G
I'm late but I'm here right now
         E          E/D    Am
Is there still time for forgiveness
          D        Gsus4  G
Won't you tell me how
F       Em        C
I can't read your mind
      F       G
But I see you now
         E      E/D    Am
As we're laying in the darkness
      D        Gsus4 G
Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on

I'm here right now
                   Am D
Yes I'm here right now
               Gsus4   G F G
Looking for forgiveness
      C            F             G
I can see as we're laying in the darkness
          E      E/D    Am
Yes we're laying in the darkness
      D        Gsus4 G
Did I wait too long
F           G           C
To turn the lights back on
