Lamplight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]An d lover, where’d you
[C]lose [Am]your patience
I know you [G]had your patience
And I was [C]just a kid
[F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]
[G]And clueless, you never stop to [C]wonder
If lightning strikes [G]the thunder
Or if it’s just coin[C]cidence

[Verse 3]
[G]Every time your father beat you down
You told him,""Dad it
won’t be long,""
And as your [C]tiny body slept that night,
I had my lamplight burning strong
[G]And

[Verse 4]
hated
Your bedroom is a [C]dark place,
[Am]but [C]you've broken all the [G]doorways
And now you're stuck inside
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]But hopeful
Your memory's [C]still around though,
you can see it from [G]your window
As it starts to [C]pass you by

[Verse 6]
[Em]Now I'm in your car,
you hold your apples in your arms
You're [C]a friend I used to know,
but you still lean against my walls
Tell me [Em]beauty I won't bluff,
I set my mind to worthless stuff
But I was [C]hoping you'd have the decadence,
the appetite of love
But that's [G]al right,

[Interlude 1]
yeah that’s alright
[C]

[Verse 7]
[G]Every time your father beat you down
You told him,""Dad it wont be long,""
And as your [C]tiny body slept that night,
I had my lamplight burning strong

[Verse 8]
And when you [G]came to me,
and said,""We gotta leave,""
And so we took your parents' car
And as your [C]tiny body slept that night,
I had my lamplight burning strong

[Verse 9]
And when we [G]got away,
but in a couple days
We crashed in Arkansas
And as your [C]tiny body slept that night,
I had my lamplight burning strong

[Verse 10]
And when the [G]cop cars
came and took you away
I knew I had to write this song
And as your [C]tiny body slept that night,

[Outro 1]
I had my lamplight burning strong
[C][G][C]
[G][C]
[G][C]
