Turn The Lights Back On

INTRO: G   C   G   C

 G                                 D
Enough with the mood lighting, I'm not in the mood
  Em                         C
Apparently, I don't have the right attitude
       G                            D
Do you think this is a sense, maybe that's what we need
              Em                             C
Then we could channel some of the dead air between you and me


G                             D
Dry your new age tears, let's stick to the facts
      Em                                 C
Don't need your phoney pearls of wisdom, you can have them back
      G                           D
Don't want your earnest sympathy, keep it to yourself
       Em                         C              G
If I'm gonna be alone, I'd rather be my myself


CHORUS:
                         Em
Turn the lights back on
                         D
Turn the lights back on
              Am       G        C              D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
                     G   C
She's dead and gone


                  G                                  D
You've read, "The Road Less Traveled", you think you know everything
  Em                             C
A little knowledge can be such a dangerous thing
         G                           D
If you'd look in the mirror, I could tell you what you'd see
          Em                C
It'd be a real education, tuition's free


G                                                D
How could you just sit there all those years and watch me throw away
             Em                            D                       G
Everything I wanted and worked for and the dreams, I couldn't even say
                            D
It never occurred to you to once ask me why
         Em                              C                           G
Guess it didn't and I think that's maybe worse than a lie,     yeah


CHORUS:
                         Em
Turn the lights back on
                         D
Turn the lights back on
              Am       G        C              D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
                     G   C   G   C
She's dead and gone


BRIDGE:
                     G            C       G
I was deaf, dumb and blind when I came to you
  C                G         C         G
I trusted you, you said I was supposed to
    C             G             C             G
You couldn't understand me, you couldn't even see
     C                G    C          G
Your hand before your face, much less me
       C                       G            C                   G
So you told me all this stuff about you, pretended it was about me
                  C                        D   G
And I'd have been better off with nothing


CHORUS:
                         C
Turn the lights back on
                         D
Turn the lights back on
              Am       G        C              D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
                     G
She's dead and gone


CHORUS:
                         Em
Turn the lights back on
                         D
Turn the lights back on
              Am       G        C             D
That trusting girl you knew, is dead and gone
                     G   C
She's dead and gone
                    G
She's dead and gone
                     C      Am Bm C   G
