[B] [D#m] [D#m]
[B] Did you ever really [G#m] think that you'd expose the truth that [D#m] paints the page?
And in asking you to seek the light, [B] the motive drew in the desire.
[C#] Or in the [B] morning should they wake up, or see them crashing [D#m] seamlessly?
Every step should break the same, we can't be [B] moving every [E] knee.
So by little [G#m] children play,
I'll leave the [B] light on to turn [F#] your mother on.
[E] So by little children [G#m] play,

[C#] Could you ever [B] really wish that them, one of your games [D#m] encounters,
With [B] every moment you'll [G#m] trace the doubt, and of the [D#m] premise what about?
Will they [B] ever really see an end, or does it matter [D#m] now from then?
What of the [G#m] love we once announced, and of this [B] love we've lost [E] without?
So by little [G#m] children play,
I'll leave the [B] light on to turn your [F#] mother on.
