Maggie Rogers – Light On (Chords and Lyrics)

Capo 2

[Verse 1]

          C                   G                             F

Would you believe me now if I told you I got caught up in a wave?

Almost gave it away
          C                G                            F

Would you hear me out if I told you I was terrified for days?

Thought I was gonna break
[Pre-Chorus 1]

Am

Oh, I couldn’t stop it
         G

Tried to slow it all down
F

Crying in the bathroom

Had to figure it out
Am

With everyone around me saying
G                     F

“You must be so happy now”
[Chorus]

                C

Oh, if you keep reaching out
               G

Then I’ll keep coming back
              F

And if you’re gone for good

Then I’m okay with that
Am

   If you leave the light on
G            Em              F

   Then I’ll leave the light on
         C

And I am finding out
                G

There’s just no other way
     F

That I’m still dancing at the end of the day
Am

   If you leave the light on
G            Em              F

   Then I’ll leave the light on
[Verse 2]

           C                     G                               F

And do you believe me now that I always had the best intentions, babe?

Always wanted to stay
        C                    G                        F

Can you feel me now that I’m vulnerable in oh-so many ways?

Oh, and I’ll never change
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Am

Oh, I couldn’t stop it
         G

Tried to figure it out
    F

But everything kept moving

And the noise got too loud
     Am

With everyone around me saying
G                       F

“You should be so happy now”
[Chorus]

                C

Oh, if you keep reaching out
               G

Then I’ll keep coming back
              F

And if you’re gone for good

Then I’m okay with that
Am

   If you leave the light on
G            Em              F

   Then I’ll leave the light on
         C

And I am finding out
                G

There’s just no other way
     F

That I’m still dancing at the end of the day
Am

   If you leave the light on
G            Em              F

   Then I’ll leave the light on

Let’s take a moment to look at these words. Black Lives Matter. And for me, after living in this gay world, it feels like only white lives have ever mattered.

“Praying” was written about that moment when the sun starts peeking through the darkest storm clouds, creating the most beautiful rainbow. Once you realize that you will in fact be OK, you want to spread love and healing. If you feel like someone has wronged you, get rid of that hate, because it will just […]
