verse 1 
             C                  G                            F 
Would you believe me now if I told you I got caught up in a wave? 
                F 
Almost gave it away 
            C               G                            F 
Would you hear me out if I told you I was terrified for days? 
                      F 
Thought I was gonna break 

Pre-Chorus 
Am 
Oh, I couldn't stop it 
          G 
Tried to slow it all down 
  F 
Crying in the bathroom 
          F 
Had to figure it out 
        Am 
With everyone around me saying 
  G                    F 
"You must be so happy now" 
 
                   C 
Oh, if you keep reaching out 
                 G 
Then I'll keep coming back 
                Am 
And if you're gone for good 
         F              C 
Then I'm okay with that 
                        G 
If you leave the light on 
                           Am              F 
Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on) 
           C 
And I am finding out 
                 G 
There's just no other way 
                  Am           F              C 
That I'm still dancing at the end of the day 
                       G 
If you leave the light on 
                           Am              F 
Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on) 

verse 2 
                       C           G                              F 
And do you believe me now that I always had the best intentions, babe? 
                  F 
Always wanted to stay 
          C                      G                     F 
Can you feel me now that I'm vulnerable in oh-so many ways? 
                     F 
Oh, and I'll never change 

Pre-Chorus 
Am 
Oh, I couldn't stop it 
            G 
Tried to figure it out 
        F 
But everything kept moving 
          F 
And the noise got too loud 
         Am 
With everyone around me saying 
  G                     F 
"You should be so happy now" 

                   C 
Oh, if you keep reaching out 
                  G 
Then I'll keep coming back 
               Am 
And if you're gone for good 
          F            C 
Then I'm okay with that 
                        G 
If you leave the light on 
                           Am                 F 
Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on) 
           C 
And I am finding out 
                  G 
There's just no other way 
                  Am            F            C 
That I'm still dancing at the end of the day 
                       G 
If you leave the light on 
                          Am                   F 
Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on)

Am                   F 
Oh, leave the light on 
Am              Dm             F 
Oh, would you leave the light on? 

               C 
If you keep reaching out 
                  G 
Then I'll keep coming back 
               Am 
But if you're gone for good 
           F           C 
Then I'm okay with that

Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on) 
            C 
And I am finding out 
                 G 
There's just no other way 
                  Am            F            C 
That I'm still dancing at the end of the day 
                       G 
If you leave the light on 
                          Am                 F 
Then I'll leave the light on (Light on, light on, light on)
