Bm 
If you go now 
 
Please leave the light on 
G               D          A 
Just say goodbye now and leave 
Bm 
With you gone now 
 
You've turned the right to wrong 
 
G             D        A 
It's getting hard to breathe now 
    G 
It goes on and on 
But not in my head 
 
 
D 
This time 
          A 
When the lights die 
               G             Bm 
And there's nothing left to say 
G                       A   Bm 
That's when you'll need me 
 
Verso 2:
 
If I break down 
And you see me 1stchords fading out 
I know enough now to make it right 
If I don't stop 
I just keep on waiting up 
Well I know enough to make it right 
 
       G        Bm 
It goes on and on 
     G 
But not in my head 
 
 
D 
This time 
         A 
When the lights die 
            G               Bm 
And there's nothing left to say 
G                       A 
That's when you'll need me 
 
D 
This time 
         A 
When the lights die 
            G               Bm 
And there's no one else to blame 
G                    A 
That's when you'll need me 
 
E 
And now 
          F#m 
With the lights turned down 
         E 
And your eyes half open 
 D                G 
I know you don't see me 
          E 
When I'm standing out 
        F#m 
If you just turn around 
               E 
And keep your eyes wide open 
   G              A       Bm 
I know you might feel me here 
D 
I know you don't see me 
A 
You don't feel me 
               G         D 
But keep your eyes wide open 
      G         A 
Your eyes wide open
