Billy Joel – Turn the Lights Back On

|C              |F               |G                           |E7    E7/G#       |
 Please open the door, nothing is different, we've been here before, pacing these
|Am              |D/F#          |Gsus4   G   |F   Em   |
 halls, trying to talk, over the silence
   |C                   |F                    |G                    |E7    E7/G#       |
And pride sticks out its tongue, laughs at the portrait that we’ve become, stuck in a
|Am              |D/F#         |Gsus4   G   |F   Em   |
 frame, unable to change, I was wrong

   |C            |F         |G            |E7      E7/G#   |
I’m late, but I’m here right now, though I used to be
 |Am          |D/F#   |Gsus4   G         |F    G   |
romantic, I forgot somehow,      time can make you
|C           |F      |G            |E7     E7/G#   |
 blind, but I see you now, as we’re layin’ in the
|Am             |D/F#    |Gsus4   G            |F     G     |
 darkness, did I wait too long,     to turn the lights  back

|C     |F     |Gsus4    G    |F    Em    |
 on?

|C               |F              |G                      |E7         E7/G#       |
 Here, stuck on a hill, outsiders inside the home that we built, the cold settles
|Am                  |D/F#       |Gsus4   G      |F     Em       |
 in, it’s been a long winter of indif-    ference,  and maybe you
|C                 |F                  |G                     |E7     E7/G#     |
 love me, maybe you don’t, maybe you’ll learn to and maybe you won’t, you’ve had
 |Am                     |D/F#   |Gsus4   G   |F   Em   |
 enough, but I won’t give up,  on you

   |C            |F         |G           |E7        E7/G#   |
I’m late, but I’m here right now, and I’m tryin’ to find the
 |Am          |D/F#    |Gsus4   G      |F   G    |
magic, that we lost somehow,      maybe I     was
|C           |F      |G            |E7     E7/G#   |
 blind, but I see you now, as we’re layin’ in the
|Am             |D/F#    |Gsus4   G            |F     G     |
 darkness, did I wait too long,     to turn the lights  back

|Am     |D             |G      |C             |
 on?
|F      |Gsus4    G    |F      |Gsus4    G    |

   |C            |F         |G            |E7         E7/G#   |
I’m late, but I’m here right now, is there still time for
  |Am                 |D/F#   |Gsus4   G   |F         Em       |
forgiveness? Won’t you tell me how?           I can’t read your
|C          |F      |G            |E7     E7/G#   |
 mind, but I see you now, as we’re layin’ in the
   |Am         |D/F#    |Gsus4   G            |F     G     |
darkness, did I wait too long,     to turn the lights  back

|C   |F               |G   |E7         E7/G#     |
 on?    I’m here right now,   yes, I’m here right
|Am   |D/F#            |Gsus4   G   |F   G   |
 now,    looking for forgiveness
     |C           |F                |G                   |E7     E7/G#   |
I can see as we’re layin’ in the darkness, yeah, as we’re layin’ in the
|Am             |D/F#    |Gsus4   G   |F             G          |
 darkness, did I wait too long,          to turn the lights back

|C     |
 on?
