[Intro]
D A7 D A7 D A7 Bm7 Gsus2
[Verse]
DI woke up this A7morning
Same old Dquestions in my A7head
DAt least the weather's getting cooler A7now
No Bm7longer forced to leave my Gsus2bed
The Dsun shines through my A7window
DMakes my old house creak and A7moan
DReminds me of the old lady down the A7market
Sitting in the Bm7sun, stretching her weary Gsus2bones
[Chorus]
And I'll GleAavGe the light on A
GSo you can Asee
I'll GleAavGe the light on A
GShould you decide A7to visit me
[Verse]
DTime is time and A7time is time and Dtime just rolls A7along
It's Dwith you every second A7
Though it Bm7has no shape or Gsus2form
SomeDtimes I get so aA7nxious
As your Dpath leads you A7away
But I Dknow it's only my A7loneliness
And it Bm7passes with the Gsus2day
[Verse]
I've Dbeen an angry and a jA7ealous man
And I Dhave no right to A7be
DPerhaps it's just my A7wicked, wicked ways
Bm7Catching up to Gsus2me
Still I've Ddone my time and I've A7paid the price
After all Dwhat's just a little A7pain
If I Dlearn from my mA7istakes
Then my Bm7loss becomes my Gsus2gain
[Chorus]
Still I'll GleAavGe the light on A
GSo you can Asee
I'll GleAavGe the light on A
GShould you decide A
GShould you deAcide to visiD11t meC#m Bm A G D/F# A7
[Verse]
DThis is the end that A7is no end
With Dthe beginning yet to cA7ome
I'm going to Dthrow the doors wide A7open
I'm going to Bm7let my spirit Gsus2run
I'm going to Dtake the path that is most A7yielding
And in Dtime my steps shall disA7appear
I'll Dpound my head against the A7wall no more
I'll be Bm7still so I can Gsus2hear
[Verse]
And if I Ddrop all my pA7retensions
About Dhow much you broke mA7y heart
I Dreally do feel gA7rateful
As we dBm7rift further Gsus2apart
I will Dfollow my distant A7vision
I'm going to Dlisten to my A7voice
You Dshowed me the way to A7freedom
You really Bm7made the only Gsus2choice G A
[Chorus]
GAnd so you sAee
I'll GleAavGe the light on A
GShould you decide A
GShould you ever deAcide to visiD11t me
[End]
