The Light Chords by Regina Spektor

_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] The light [Db] was shining in my eyes before [Ab] I closed them _
[Bbm] And all the [Db] dreams I had [Bbm] the night before [Eb] came back
_ [Ab] _ The faces [Db] that I'd seen looked so familiar
_ [Bb] But [Bbm] they're [Db] just strangers, [Bb] I [Bbm] haven't met [Eb] them yet
_ _ [C] _ I [Fm] know the morning [Db] is wiser than [Ab] the evening _
[C] I [Fm] know that wrong and right [Db] can sometimes look [Ab] the same
_ _ [C]
So [Fm] many things I [Db] know, but they [Ab] don't help me
_ _ [Bbm] Each day [Db] I open up my [Bbm] eyes [Eb] and start again
_ _ [Ab] The light [Ab] comes shining _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ in [Ab] my eyes
So _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] many _ [Bbm] stories _ [Db] I want to tell [Ab]
you
[Bbm] _ I wish [Db] that I could show you [Bbm] the many things [Eb] I've seen
[Ab] _
You and your [Db] daddy, _ _ you both look [Ab] like poets
_ [Bbm] _ Your eyes are [Db] open wide while you are in a [Eb] dream
_ _ [C] _ I know [Fm] the morning [Db] is wiser than the [Ab] night time _
[C] I know [Fm] there's nothing wrong, [Db] I shouldn't feel so [Ab] down
[Em] _ [C] So many [Fm] things I [Db] know, but they don't [Ab] help me
[Bb] [Bbm] Each day I [Db]
open up my eyes [Eb] to look around _
_ [Ab] _ The sun comes shining _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ in [Ab] my eyes
[Cm] _
I'm _ [Fm] _ closed [Eb] now
_ _ _ Count the [Ab] stars _ [Bbm] inside [Eb] your mind
_ [Ab] _
_ Count the [Cm] _ breaths, [Fm] _ _
[Ab] count hard
_ _ [Db] _ Count [Ab] the sounds [Bbm] of life
_ [Eb]
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ light [Fm] was shining [Db] in my eyes before [Ab] I closed them
[Bbm] _ And all [Db] the dreams I had the night before [Eb] were gone
_ _ [Ab] The faces [Db] that I'd seen looked so [Ab]
familiar
_ [Bb] But I [Db] forgot them all [Bbm] when I saw [Eb] the sun _
[C] _ I know [Fm] the morning [Db] is wiser than [Ab] the evening
[Cm] _ _ [Fm]
I know [Db] that all of life just happens [Eb] in between
So [Ab] _ _
many [Db] things I know, but they don't [Ab] help me
[Bbm] _ Each day I [Db]
open up [Bbm] my eyes [Eb] and it begins
_ [Ab] The light comes [Db] shining in [Ab] my eyes
The _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ light, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the [Db] light, _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ the light
