[(Intro) ]Bb - F 
(Verse One) 
       F                         
I told you I'd leave a light on 
     C                                 
In case you ever wanted to come back home 
    Bb 	                                     F         C - Bb <-(one count 
each) 
You smiled and said you appre-ciate -  the gesture 
    F                          
I took your every word to heart 
       C                         
ÎCause I can't stand us being apart 
    Bb                                  C                 
And just to show how much I really miss ya' 

F                             
Every light in the house is on 
    C                                   
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn 
    Bb                             
The front walk looks like runway lights 
     F 	  	   	     C         
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night 
F                             
Every light in the house is on 
C                            Bb                    
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone 
G           C 	  	           F            
- - - Every light in the house is on< R> 
 
(Verse 2) 
If I should ever start forgettin' 
I'll turn the lights off one by one 
So you can see that I agree, it's over 
But until then I want you to know 
If you look south you'll see a glow 
That's me waitin' at home each night to hold ya' 
(Chorus) 
(Repeat Chorus) 
(End with instrumental tag)
