[Verse]
G C G D
When I was young I was frightened, by shadow monsters on my wall
G C Em C G Am D
And I was convinced they would get me in the dark, if I slept at all
G C Em A7sus A7
I know she was there in her bedroom, so I tip-toed down the hall
C D G C G
Laid my head on the floor and tried to see under her door
[Chorus]
C D G
I was looking for the light
C D G
When it was on I knew everything was alright
C D Em C
Before I could knock she'd open the door and I'd look up and seen that

She always knew, when I was looking for the light

At 19 I had all the answers thought I could make it on my own
G C Em C G Am D
As we were packing she said don't ever forget this is always your home
G C Em A7sus A7
Soon I foung a one room apartment has monsters of its own
C D G C G
So sometimes I go out and drive by that old house (Repeat chorus)
G C G C D G
I stood there filled with fear as she was passing away
C G Am7 D
They said she can't hear you now all we can do is pray
C D
As I squeezed her hand she opened her eyes

And smiled for me one last time
Am7 D G C D C
She always knew, when I was looking for the light
