no chord   D            G 
Don't know why you must go 
    A                   Bm        G 
I'm not sure you really know, its okay 
  D      A       G                       A 
Remember me, how easy and tender that it used to be 
          D                  G 
There's no right, there's no wrong 
       A                       Bm 
I just want you back where you belong 
           G 
And that's why 
G                 D     A 
I will leave the light on 
G                D     A               
I will leave the light on 
G                A            D 
I will leave the light on for you 
 
Verse 2, same chords: 
You can run, but you can't hide 
From the feeling you bury inside 
In my heart, I know this is true 
It's one of the things that I learned from you 
Lovers come, lovers go 
And there's much more to this then you know 
 
That is why 
I will leave the light on 
I will leave the light on 
I will leave the light on for you 
 
Bridge: 
          Bm             G 
When your fair weathered friends 
          D                           A 
Leave you standing by yourself in the pouring rain 
         Bm                  G 
When the nights are dark and lonely 
        D             A 
Call my name, call my name 
        Bm           G 
You can retrace your steps 
       Bm        G 
Oh but don't you forget 
G                D     A 
I will leave the light on 
G                D     A 
I will leave the light on 
G                A 
I will leave the light on... 
           D             G 
Don't know why, you have gone 
A                          Bm 
Hope you can find your way home 
   G                           D     A 
Until then... I will leave the light on 
G                D     A 
I will leave the light on 
G                A                D 
I will leave the light on for you
