    A                        D
I know it's getting dark outside
                      A
The stars are gone tonight
                       D
And with them all my pride
   A                       D
I see your shadows on the wall
                         A
But lover's voice still calls
                        D
And echoes through the halls
D
But you're not here

Chorus:
A
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you've been gone
D
I keep leaving the lights on
'Cause I know you're coming home
A
I've been keeping this fire going
Every night since you've been gone
D
Feel it burn but I've never been colder
                     A
When are you coming home

I tried, I tried to fall asleep
The phone right next to me
You called me in my dreams
Your voice was sweet
But still too real for me

Chorus:
A
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you've been gone
D
I keep leaving the lights on
'Cause I know you're coming home
A
I've been keeping this fire going
Every night since you've been gone
D
Feel it burn but I've never been colder
                     A   D
When are you coming home
                     E   F#m
When are you coming home

         A   Bm              D
I stumble through the dark alone
D
Without you
F#m   A      Bm                 D
I hear your voice but it's too real

Chorus:
A
I keep leaving the lights on for you
A
Every night since you've been gone
D
I keep leaving the lights on
D
'Cause I know you're coming home
A
I've been keeping this fire going
A
Every night since you've been gone
D
Feel it burn but I've never been colder
                     A   D
When are you coming home
                     A   D
When are you coming home
                     A
When are you coming home
