Intro/Verse 1:
Never really said too much,
PO:
GR:
Afraid it wouldn't be enough. Just try to keep my spirits up
PO:
GR:
When there's no point in grieving. Doesn't matter anyway.
PO:
GR:
Words could never make me stay. Words will never take my place
PO:
GR:
When you know I'm leaving.
PO:
GR:
Chorus: (I think GUITAR 1 is just playing power chords, or bar chords
possibly, with overdrive, while GUITAR 2 is putting in the
occasional note here and there.)
Try to leave the light on when I'm gone,
G1:
G2: (from what I could hear)
Something I rely on to get home.
G1:
G2:
One I can feel at night, a naked light,
G1:
G2:
a fire to keep me warm
G1:
G2:
Try to leave the light on when I'm gone.
G1:
G2:
Even in the daylight, shine on.
G1:
G2:
And when it's late at night, you can look inside.
G1:
G2:
You won't feel so alone.
G1:
G2:
Verse 2:
You know we've been down that road it seems a thousand times before,
PO:
GR:
My back to a closing door, and my eyes to the seasons
PO:
GR:
That roll out underneath my heals, and you don't know how bad it feels.
PO:
GR:
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in.
PO:
GR:
END OF CHORUS/SOLO:
Ohhh yeahhh.....
G1:
G2:
G1:
G2:
BRIDGE:
Sometimes it feels like we've run out of luck
G1:
G2: (This was even harder to hear. I think I got a couple of them.)
When the signal keeps on breaking up.
G1:
GUITAR 2:
When the wires cross in my brain, you'll start my heart again.
G1:
G2:
When I come along, yeahhh...
G1:
G2:
CHORUS:
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
PO:
Something I rely on to get home
PO:
One I can feel at night a naked light
PO:
A fire to keep me warm

(Overdrive again)
Try to leave the light on when I'm gone.

You won't feel so alone.
