The Light

• G

G 
My keys in my pocket 
     Cadd9      G 
My suitcase is packed 
G                                                 Cadd9         G 
On a mission to nowhere and I'm not coming back 
     G            
My hands, they are shaking 
      Cadd9          G 
I'm sure that will stop 
G                                          Cadd9            G 
Rather take off running than stay here and rot 


  D              D               Cadd9         G 
I gave it my all and I've got nothing left 
       D                       D                    Cadd9          G 
The weight from this town pulls the air from my chest 
  D               D             Cadd9 G  
I promise to write and send souvenirs 
        D         Cadd9        G 
But I will be gone in the morning 


Your keys on my nightstand and your suitcase the floor 
The last thing I'll do is deadbolt the door 
My hands sure are shaking 
It may never stop 
Not if I'm stuck in this town you forgot 
Your friends will be standing 
You gas up your car 
Now they have pinned down the person you are 
You're saying you're mine 
You've already gone 
But you will be here in the morning 

                          G 
I may not be the first to say I'm leaving 
                               Cadd9 
But sure enough I'm bound to hit the road 
           Am 
All my heirlooms are empty 
             D 
You will have to watch me go 
                                    G 
You should've seen the light go out in your eyes 
                Cadd9                          Am 
When you finally caught on to the words I'm softly screaming 
       D 
The right ones all along 
  
You should've seen the light 
You should've seen the light 
Should've seen the light 
Should've seen the light
