Lucy Kaplansky - Turn The Lights Back On


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G  C  G  C

 G                 D
Enough with the mood lighting, I'm not in the mood
 Em             C
Apparently, I don't have the right attitude
    G              D
Do you think this is a sense, maybe that's what we need
       Em               C
Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me

G               D
Dry your new age tears, let's stick to the facts
   Em                 C
Don't need your phoney pearls of wisdom, you can have them back
   G              D
Don't want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself
    Em             C       G
If I'm gonna be alone, I'd rather be my myself


CHORUS:
             Em
Turn the lights back on
             D
Turn the lights back on
       Am    G    C       D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
           G  C
She's dead and gone


         G                 D
You've read, "The Road Less Traveled", you think you know everything
 Em               C
A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing
     G              D
If you'd look in the mirror, I could tell you what you'd see
     Em        C
It'd be a real education, tuition's free


G                        D
How could you just sit there all those years and watch me throw away
       Em              D            G
Everything I wanted and worked for and the dreams, I couldn't even say
              D
It never occurred to you to once ask me why
     Em               C              G
Guess it didn't and I think that's maybe worse than a lie,   yeah


CHORUS:
             Em
Turn the lights back on
             D
Turn the lights back on
       Am    G    C       D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
           G  C  G  C
She's dead and gone


BRIDGE:
           G      C    G
I was deaf, dumb and blind when I came to you
 C        G     C     G
I trusted you, you said I was supposed to
  C       G       C       G
You couldn't understand me, you couldn't even see
   C        G  C     G
Your hand before your face, much less me
    C            G      C          G
So you told me all this stuff about you, pretended it was about me
         C            D  G
And I'd have been better off with nothing


CHORUS:
             C
Turn the lights back on
             D
Turn the lights back on
       Am    G    C       D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
           G
She's dead and gone


CHORUS:
             Em
Turn the lights back on
             D
Turn the lights back on
       Am    G    C       D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
           G  C
She's dead and gone
          G
She's dead and gone
           C   Am Bm C  G
Turn the lights back on
