C /B /A D7/F# FaddG/G G7
I lie awake, my lonely room tells me there's no one else
Bm7-5 E7
No one else
Chorus:
I reach for the light, it shines above my head

Reveals the bed that you're not in
I reach for the light, it shines across the room
Bm7-5 E Am/E Dm/E E
And brings to mind what might have been
Verse 2:
I tell myself I'm better off no one can hurt me now
I see your crumpled photograph it makes me laugh out loud
Laugh out loud
repeat chorus

When I wish I could forget how good you looked tonight
When you smiled at me and walked away with him (oh... oh, no!)
repeat chorus; rit. at end
Coda:
N.C.
I reach for the light
Am G6 Fmaj7 Bm7-5 E Am/E Dm/E E
(I reach for the light)
I tell myself I'm better off, no one can hurt
me now
(I reach for the light)
I see your crumbled photograph, it makes me
laugh out loud
(I reach for the light)
I lie awake, my lonely room tells me there's
no one else
continue as above; fade
-- another ace 70's tab from Andrew Rogers
