Lyrics
Can't Turn Out Your Light - Keith Eddie Lyle
Key C# Count off 1, 2, ... (Lead guitar intro riff)
G# to C#
I must of walked a milion miles for you
You didn't even care
I went out and changed my style for you
C# C F#
You didn't notice I was there
(Chorus)
F# C#
In the middle of the night
Bbm G#
You're home in bed...the stars are bright
F# C#
In the middle of the night
Bbm G# G#7 C#(riff)
I lie awake because I can't... Turn out your light
(Verse 2)
I do anything just to catch your eye
Cross my heart and hope to die
I just can't stop thinking about you
I don't even ask myself why...
(Chorus)
(Bridge in G#) C#
Hey little lady could you spare me some time
F# G#
I think your beautiful and I wish you were mine
G# C#
Don't just ignore me or give me some line
F# G#
I feel I'm in prison doing life's precious time (repeat)
(Steel Solo over Bridge; Guitar solo over Riff)
(Verse 3)
Maybe someday when the time goes by
You'll stop and think about me
Maybe someday you might realize
I had something you just didn't see
(Chorus) (repeat) I just can't turn out your light...
