    [Verse 1]
    Dm
    The second someone mentioned you were all alone
    I could feel the trouble coursing through your veins
    F
    Now I know, it's got a hold
    Just a phone called left unanswered, had me sparking up
    These cigarettes won't stop me wondering where you are
    Don't let go, keep a hold
    [Pre-Chorus]
    If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
    Bb
    Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
    Safe to feel at grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
    If you've lost your way...
    [Chorus]
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    [Verse 2]
    Dm
    Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
    Bb
    Lately you've been searching for a darker place
    F
    To hide, that's alright
    But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
    Bb
    I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
    Just come home, don't let go
    [Pre-Chorus]
    If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
    Bb
    Guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be
    Safe to feel at grace 'cause we've all made mistakes
    If you've lost your way...
    [Chorus]
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    I will leave the light on
    [Outro]
    If you look into the distance, there's a house upon the hill
    Bb
    Guiding like a lighthouse, it's a place where you'll be
    Safe to feel at grace and if you've lost your way C
    If you've lost your way (I will leave the light on) Dm Bb
    Dm                                  F          C
    And I know you're down and out now, but I need you to be brave Dm Bb
    Bb                                  F          C
    Hiding from the truth ain't gonna make this all okay Dm C
    I'll see your pain if you don't feel our grace F Bb
    And you've lost your way Dm         Dm         C
    I will leave the light on Bb Bb     F          Bb
    I will leave the light on Dm F F C  C          C
    'Cause I will leave the light on Dm Dm F C C Dm Bb
    [Chorus] Dm F        F    F    C    F     C    C               Dm

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
