              C    G      Dm      Am        G 
Take my hand - tell me what you are feeling 
C      G     Dm      Am      G 
Understand - this is just the beginning 
C       G 
Although I have to go 
Dm        F 
It makes me feel like crying 
C          G          A 
I don't know when I'll see you again... 
 
{Chorus} 
          D        D fill- twiddle your pinkie on top E string} 
Honey leave a light on for me 
        Bm           F#m 
I'll be there before you close the door 
   Bm            F#m       G   A 
To give you all the love that you need 
         D          D fill} 
Darling leave a light on for me 
         Bm          F#m 
Cos when the world takes me away 
Bm          F#m         G      A 
You are still the air that I breathe 
 
  G         A 
I can't explain, I don't know 
D           Gm 
Just how far I have to go... 
        D 
But darling I'll keep the peace 
A         G 
Just leave a light on for me 
 
{Verse 2} 
 
Yes I know what I'm asking is crazy 
You could go, just get tired of waiting 
But if I lose your love 
Put off by my desire 
That would be the one regret of my life 
 
{Chorus} 
 
A        G            A 
Just like a spark lights up the dark 
     G 
Baby that's your heart 
     G 
Baby that's your heart 
     G 
Baby that's your heart 
 
{Axe solo} - bend that whammy bar ! 
 
{repeat Chorus to fade, assorted whines and overdubs}
