(Am)In the dark (G)ness

be fore the (F)dawn.

(Am)In the swirl (G)ing

of the (F)storm.

When Iโ€™m (Am)roll ing with the punch (G)es

and hope is gone.

Leave a light,

a light (F)on.

Leave a light,

a light (F)on.

(Am7)Ooh,

ah.

(Am)Ooh,

(F)ah.

(F)Leave a (G)light on,

a light (F)on.

Leave a (G)light on,

a (Em)light (F)on.
