Capo 3rd Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (G) (C) (D) (C) 

(G) When I was young, I was fr(C)ightened by (G) shadow monsters on my wall (D) (Dsus4) (D)
And (G) I was convinced, they would (C) get (G/B) me (Am7) in the (G) dark, if I slept at all (D) (Dsus4) (D)
I (G) knew she was there in her bed(C)room, so I'd (Em) tiptoed down the (A7sus) hall (A7)
Lay my (C) head on the floor and (D) tried to see under her (G) door (Am7/G) (G) (Am) (G/B)

  (C) I was (D) looking for the (G) light (Gsus) (G) 
  When (C) it was on, I (D) knew everything was all (G) right (Gsus) (G) 
  Before (C) I could knock, she'd (D) open the door
  And I'd look (Bm7) up and seen that (C) smile
  She always (Am) knew, when I was (G/D) looking (D) for the (G) light

(G) (C) (D) (C)

At 19, I had all the answers, thought I could make it on my own
As we were packing she said, "Don't ever forget, this is always your home"
Soon I found a one room apartment has monsters of it's own
So sometimes, I'd go out and drive by that old house

(Repeat Chorus)

(G) (Gsus) (G) 

(Am7) I stood there (G) filled with fear, (C) as she was (D) passing a(G) way
(Am7) They said, "She can't (G/B) hear you now, (C) all we can do is (D7) pray" (C/D) (D) 

  As I (C) squeezed her hand, she (D) opened her eyes
  And (Bm) smiled for me one last (C) time
  She always (Am) knew, when I was (G/D) looking (D) for the (G) light (C) (D) (C) (Gadd9)
