  			Verso 1: 
    A                       Dsus2 
I know it's getting dark outside 
                      A 
The stars are gone tonight 
                      Dsus2 
And with them all my pride 
   A                       Dsus2 
I see your shadows on the wall 
                         A 
But lover's voice still calls 
                       Dsus2 
And echoes through the halls 
Dsus2 
But you're not here 

 
A 
I keep leaving the lights on for you 
A 
Every night since you've been gone 
Dsus2 
I keep leaving the lights on 
Dsus2 
'Cause I know you're coming home 
A 
I've been keeping this fire going 
A 
Every night since you've been gone 
Dsus2 
Feel it burn but I've never been colder 
                     A 
When are you coming home 

Verso 2: 
    A                       Dsus2 
I tried, I tried to fall asleep 
                         A 
The phone right next to me 
                      Dsus2 
You called me in my dreams 
F#m        A      Bm 
 Your voice was sweet 
               Dsus2 
But still too real for me 

 
A 
I keep leaving the lights on for you 
A 
Every night since you've been gone 
Dsus2 
I keep leaving the lights on 
Dsus2 
'Cause I know you're coming home 
A 
I've been keeping this fire going 
A 
Every night since you've been gone 
Dsus2 
Feel it burn but I've never been colder 
                     A   Dsus2 
When are you coming home 
                     E   F#m 
When are you coming home 

Ponte: 
         A   Bm              Dsus2 
I stumble through the dark alone 
Dsus2 
Without you 
F#m    A      Bm                 Dsus2 
 I hear your voice but it's too real 

 
A 
I keep leaving the lights on for you 
A 
Every night since you've been gone 
Dsus2 
I keep leaving the lights on 
Dsus2 
'Cause I know you're coming home 
A 
I've been keeping this fire going 
A 
Every night since you've been gone 
Dsus2 
Feel it burn but I've never been colder 
                     A   Dsus2 
When are you coming home 
                     A   Dsus2 
When are you coming home 
                     A 
When are you coming home
