E       A      E 
Put your defense down 
E              A                     E 
Open up your heart and lay all of it out  
E              A      E 
I know how hard it sounds 
E                     A                           E 
but loneliness will have it's way in feeding your doubts 
     A       
I'm waiting on the light 
                               E 
waiting on the light to change 
   A     
I'm chasing out the lies 

chasing out the lies 
  E             F#m 
that keep you caged 
 A          B                          E 
I'm waiting, waiting on the light to change 

E          A         E 
No matter what's inside 
                     A 
There is nothing you can say 
                  E 
to cause me to hide 
E              A       E 
You know I'm broken too 
                 A 
I've fallen far, I lost my faith 
                         E 
been found and made new 

   A       
I'm waiting on the light 
                            E 
waiting on the light to change 
 A     
I'm chasing out the lies 

chasing out the lies 
   E             F#m 
that keep you caged 
 A          B                        E 
I'm waiting, waiting on the light to change 

    A                 E 
Oh, love won't let you go 
 A                      B 
It bends and reaches low 
        E 
Just let go 

    A       
I'm waiting on the light 
                          E 
waiting on the light to change 
    A     
I'm chasing out the lies 

chasing out the lies 
   E         F#m 
that keep you caged 
  A          B                         E 
I'm waiting, waiting on the light to change
