[Verse 1]
E C D
And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
E C D
As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette
E C D
Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness
A
You forget...
E C D
Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with
E C D
And you're cryin' every time you turn around
E C D
And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up
A
Off the ground...
[Chorus]
E C D
Oh, my crazy baby
E C D
Try to hold on tight
E C D
Oh, my crazy baby
E C D
Don't put out the light...
A D E C D E C D
The light, the light, the light
[Verse 2]
E C D
And they look at you like they don't speak your language
E C D
And you're living at the bottom of a well
E C D
And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets
A
You can't tell...
E C D
Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together
E C D
But you cannot bear to walk outside your door
E C D
No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror
A
Anymore...
[Chorus]
E C D
Oh, my crazy baby
E C D
Try to hold on tight
E C D
Oh, my crazy baby
E C D
Don't put out the light...
A D E C D E C D
The light, the light, the light
[Verse 3]
E C D
And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
E C D
As your worries climb around inside your clothes
E C D
Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness
A
Heaven knows...
[Chorus]
E C D
Oh, my crazy baby
E C D
Try to hold on tight
E C D
Oh, my crazy baby
E C D
Don't put out the light...
A D E C D E C D
The light, the light, the light
The light...
