THE LIGHT - SWEAR AND SHAKE
G
My keys in my pocket
Cadd9 G
My suitcase is packed
G Cadd9 G
On a mission to nowhere and I'm not coming back
G
My hands, they are shaking
Cadd9 G
I'm sure that will stop
G Cadd9 G
Rather take off running than stay here and rot
D D Cadd9 G
I gave it my all and I've got nothing left
D D Cadd9 G
The weight from this town pulls the air from my chest
D D Cadd9 G
I promise to write and send souvenirs
D Cadd9 G
But I will be gone in the morning
Your keys on my nightstand and your suitcase the floor
The last thing I'll do is deadbolt the door
My hands sure are shaking
It may never stop
Not if I'm stuck in this town you forgot
Your friends will be standing
You gas up your car
Now they have pinned down the person you are
You're saying you're mine
You've already gone
But you will be here in the morning
G
I may not be the first to say I'm leaving
Cadd9
But sure enough I'm bound to hit the road
Am
All my heirlooms are empty
D
You will have to watch me go
G
You should've seen the light go out in your eyes
Cadd9 Am
When you finally caught on to the words I'm softly screaming
D
The right ones all along
You should've seen the light
You should've seen the light
Should've seen the light
Should've seen the light
