------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Pope – Porch Light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Verse
The Amriver that runs through my hometown used to Gfreeze over in the winter Fmaj7maj7 C We'd go down to the water’s edge with a jug oFmaj7 red wine And the Amgirl I loved most oFmaj7 my liFmaj7Ge she'd take my hand and with a smile We'd Fmaj7walk across the water to passC the time
Prechorus
Am Her mother would prayFmaj7 with the porcCh light on so she could find her wGay
Chorus Am Fmaj7 C G – G11 – G6 She said "If you don't believe then how can you make it through Am Fmaj7 C G – G11 – G6 If there's nothing but lies then how will my children learn to tell the truth Am Fmaj7 C G – G11 – G6 If you don't believe darling what can you do
Cause if Amnothing really Fmaj7matters then what's the use&Cquot;C
Verse
About Amfive days after I turned 16 she Ggrabbed my face and swore to me This Fmaj7town will crush the life from all my dreaCms So she Amstole the keys to her daddy's car and with Gfear in her eyes, she begged for my arms butFmaj7 no matter what she said I wasn't ready to leavCe
Prechorus
Am And her father would Fmaj7wait with the porcCh light on till she could find her wGay
Chorus Am Fmaj7 C G – G11 – G6 And he'd said "If you don't believe then how can you make it through Am Fmaj7 C G – G11 – G6 If there's nothing but lies then how will your children learn to tell the truth Am Fmaj7 C G – G11 – G6 If you don't believe darling what can you do
Cause if Amnothing really Fmaj7matters then what's the use&Cquot;C

And the Amplace they say I got my eyes is from a Gbroken man who never smiled In Fmaj7pictures he wouldn't know me on the streCet Now you can Amcross your heart a thousand times but Gmost nights I'm left here wondering why I ever Fmaj7loved someone who's so afraid oCf me
Prechorus
Am I'd sit and I'd waiFmaj7t for the porcCh light on till she comes back to meG
