A                        E            F#m
Turn the lights on, the night is too long
A                   E           F#m
Keep yourself warm, I'm coming home
          A                 E
I cannot help you, you yourself must see
  F#m                F
Decide now what you want to be
 A                         E                D
Turn the lights down, the lights are too strong

When you’re down and out just hold on
Realize that nothing lasts long
(We must believe the things we cannot see)
(Everything’s all right with me)
Turn the lights down, the lights are too strong

            E
I'm coming home

Chorus:
                 D    A       E
I just want to sleep by your side
             D    A   E
It makes me feel so alive
                 Bm   D      E
I just want to sleep for a while

Turn around, the night is still young
Keep your lights on, I’m coming home
(You must decide now where you want to be)
(You’re the one who said to me)
Realize that nothing lasts long

I’m coming home

                 D    A       E
I just want to sleep by your side
            Bm    D   E
It makes me feel so alive

   Bm                   D
So easy to love from a distance
A
Hard to be near when you can
  Bm                  D
Impossible now to go back to
E
Where we began

Chorus:
I just want to sleep by your side
It makes me feel so alive
I just want to sleep by your side
I just want to sleep through the night
Oh
