Chorus:
F C G
Can you tell me where the light goes
C G F
Every time your eyes close?
F C G
If it's there, then it doesn't show
C G F
Tell me where the light goes
I wanna know
F C G
Can you tell me why the room dims
C G F
Every time you leave it?
C G
And I'm a shadow of a heartbreak
C G F
And a ghost of all the endings
C G
Oh, I wanna know
C G F
I wanna know oh oh
C G
'Cause I burn like fire
C G F
And I walk on wires
C G
If I lose myself
C G
Just meet me part of the way
F
Part of the way-ay
Chorus:
C G
Can you tell me where the light goes
C G F
Every time your eyes close?
F C G
If it's there, then it doesn't show
C G F
Ah, tell me where the light goes
There's a feeling that I don't get
When I'm reeling from the night sweats
Take a roll around a cigarette
And I still don't feel quite like me yet
'Cause I burn like fire
And I walk on wires
And I lose myself
When you just give it away
Give it away-ay
Chorus:
Will you tell me where the light goes
Every time your eyes close?
There's a wall that was a window
Tell me where the light goes
C G
Oh, I wanna know-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
F C
I don't wanna lose my place
G
I'm still afraid
C G F
Pray to the gods that bring down the endings
C G
I think I get it, but I don't understand
C G
How it can blind me
F
And then it's over
Chorus:
Will you tell me where the light goes
Every time your eyes close?
If it's there, then it doesn't show
Tell me where the light goes
Tell me where the light goes
Yes, tell me where the light goes
There's a wall that was a window
Ah, tell me where the light goes
All, I wanna know-oh-oh-oh
I wanna know-oh-oh-oh
I wanna know-oh-oh-oh
I wanna know-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Tell me where the light goes
Tell me where the light goes
Tell me where the light goes
