Capo 2


Intro: G   C   G   C   

 G                                 D 
Enough with the mood lighting, I'm not in the mood 
  Em                         C 
Apparently, I don't have the right attitude 
       G                            D 
Do you think this is a sense, maybe that's what we need 
              Em                             C 
Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me 


G                             D 
Dry your new age tears, let's stick to the facts 
      Em                                 C 
Don't need your phoney pearls of wisdom, you can have them back 
      G                           D 
Don't want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself 
       Em                         C              G 
If I'm gonna be alone, I'd rather be my myself 


Chorus: 
                         Em 
Turn the lights back on 
                         D 
Turn the lights back on 
              Am       G        C              D 
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone 
                     G   C   
She's dead and gone 


                  G                                  D 
You've read, "The Road Less Traveled", you think you know everything 
  Em                             C 
A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing 
         G                           D 
If you'd look in the mirror, I could tell you what you'd see 
          Em                C 
It'd be a real education, tuition's free 


G                                                D 
How could you just sit there all those years and watch me throw away 
             Em                            D                       G 
Everything I wanted and worked for and the dreams, I couldn't even say 
                            D 
It never occurred to you to once ask me why 
         Em                              C                           G 
Guess it didn't and I think that's maybe worse than a lie,     yeah 


Chorus: 
                         Em 
Turn the lights back on 
                         D 
Turn the lights back on 
              Am       G        C              D 
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone 
                     G   C   G   C    
She's dead and gone 


Bridge: 
                     G            C       G 
I was deaf, dumb and blind when I came to you 
  C                G         C         G  
I trusted you, you said I was supposed to 
    C             G             C             G 
You couldn't understand me, you couldn't even see 
     C                G    C          G 
Your hand before your face, much less me 
       C                       G            C                   G 
So you told me all this stuff about you, pretended it was about me 
                  C                        D   G 
And I'd have been better off with nothing 


Chorus: 
                         C 
Turn the lights back on 
                         D 
Turn the lights back on 
              Am       G        C              D 
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone 
                     G   
She's dead and gone 


Chorus: 
                         Em 
Turn the lights back on 
                         D 
Turn the lights back on 
              Am       G        C             D 
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone 
                     G   C   
She's dead and gone 
                    G 
She's dead and gone 
                     C      Am Bm C   G 
Turn the lights back on
