Chords for Marshall Crenshaw - Television Light - 4/3/09

[B] _ _ _ _ This is a song I [F#m] wrote _ a few years ago for a _ _ [F#] film soundtrack.
[F#m] It was a film called _ _ Pants on Fire. _ _ _
_ _ [D] I [F#m] thought it never came out.
That was my [A] understanding.
_ _ _ _ _ I was looking [C#] at a royalty statement that I got [F#] recently.
_ _ I got like _ 15 cents _ [A] for _ _ this song being played on TV in Israel.
[D] _ [F#m] _ So I guess Pants on Fire came out. _
Sort of.
_ _ Anyway, this one's called Television Light. _ _ _ _ _
Well, thank you.

Shining through a [D] hundred bedroom [F#m]
windows
I was out [A] last night _
[E] Walking all [D] around the streets that we [A] know
[Bm] Tales to [D] tell
Are [A] behind _ [Bm] every door
[E] But [A] two are [Bm] quite the [D] same
You [E] and I know few of our own, that's for sure
[F#m]
Days and [A] days have gone
_ But I [E] still [D] clearly can _ [F#] remember
A [F#m] crowded [A] avenue
_ _ On a Monday [D] evening in [A] November
[Bm] On [D] our way to [A] your old [D] place downtown
_ You [A] held [Bm] my hand [D] tight
There [E] was light and laughter and music all [F#m] around
_ [A] _
[E] What I wouldn't [F#m] wish for
_ [A] _
[E] Nearly [Am] came [F#m] true
_ [A]
To [E] throw you away
[F#] Was what I [Bm] didn't [E] want to do
_ [F#m] _ _ [A]
It's [E] written on [F#m] my heart
_ [A]
The [E] way I feel [A] for you _
To [E] make your bitter [F#m] tears fall
Was what I didn't [A] want to do
[F#] What [E] I didn't want [F#m] to do
[A] _ A [Bm] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [F#m] television [A] light _
