Del Water Gap - Lamplight

^CAnd lover, where’d you lose^Fmaj7/C your patience I know you had ^Cyour patience And I was ju^Fmaj7/Cst a kid

^CAnd clueless, you never stop to ^Fmaj7/Cwonder If lightning strikes the ^Cthunder Or if it’s just coi^Fmaj7/Cncidence

^CEvery time your father beat you down You told him, "Dad it wont be long," And as your ^Fmaj7/Ctiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

^CAnd hated Your bedroom is a ^Fmaj7/Cdark place, but you've broken all ^Cthe doorways And now you're stuck ^Fmaj7/Cinside

^CBut hopeful Your memory's ^Fmaj7/Cstill around though, you can see it from your ^Cwindow As it starts to ^Fmaj7/Cpass you by

^AmNow I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms You're a ^Fmaj7/Cfriend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls Tell me ^Ambeauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff But I was ^Fmaj7/Choping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love But that's ^Calright, yeah that’s ^Fmaj7/Calright

^CEvery time your father beat you down You told him, "Dad it wont be long," And as your ^Fmaj7/Ctiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

And when you ^Ccame to me, and said, "We gotta leave," And so we took your parents' car And as your ^Fmaj7/Ctiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

And when we ^Cgot away, but in a couple days We crashed in Arkansas And as your ^Fmaj7/Ctiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

And when the ^Ccop cars came and took you away I knew I had to write this song And as your ^Fmaj7/Ctiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong
