F C Bb-Bb 
 
F 
I told you I'd leave a light on. 
C 
In case you ever wanted to come back home. 
Bb                                       F     C-Bb                       
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture. 
F 
I took your every word to heart, 
C 
Cause I can't stand us being apart, 
Bb                                   C                           
And just to show how much I really miss ya. 
 
 
Chorus: 
F 
Every light in the house is on, 
C 
The backyard's bright as the crack on dawn. 
Bb 
The front walk looks like runway lights, 
F                             C               
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night. 
F 
Every light in the house is on, 
C                             Bb               Bb-F
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone 
Gm       C            
Every light in the house is on. (F C Bb Bb}
 
 F
If I should ever start forgetting 
I ll turn the lights off one by one 
So you can see that I agree it s over 
But until then I want you to know 
If you look south, you ll see a glow 
That s me waiting at home each night to hold ya
