This chord: 0-0-2-2-0-0 I call @ and it is quite essential in this song...
 (Bjarne Schmidt, DK)
 I seen myself with a dirty face,
 I cut my luck with a dirty ace
 I leave the light on,  I leave the light on
 I went from zero to minus ten
 I drank your wine then, I stole your man
 I leave the light on,  I leave that light  on.
 Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
 I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
 I leave the light on,  I leave the light on
 Little girl hiding underneath the bed
 Was it something I did, must be something I said
 I leave the light on,  better leave the light  on.
 I wanna love,  I wanna live
 I don't know much  about it
 I never did,  no no
 17 and I'm all messed up inside
 I cut myself just to feel alive
 I leave the light on, I leave the light on
 21 on the run, on the run from myself
 From myself and everyone
 I leave the light on, I leave the light on
 Better leave the light on.
 Cause I wanna love,  I wanna live
 I don't know much  about it
 I never did,
 I don't know what to do,  can the damage be undone
 I swore to God that I'd never  be what I've become
Lucky  stars and fairy  tales
I'm  gonna bathe myself in  a wishin' well
Pretty  scars from cigarettes
 I never  will forget, I never  will forget
 I'm still afraid to be alone
 Wish that moon would follow me home
 I leave the light on,  I leave the light on
 I ain't that bad I'm just messed  up
 I ain't that sad but I'm sad  enough
 Cause I wanna love...
 God bless the child with the dirty face
 Who cuts her luck with a dirty ace
 She leaves the light on, I leave that light on
