Lamplight chords by Del Water Gap

Verse 1:
C             Fmaj7/C
And lover, where’d you lose your patience
        C
I know you had your patience
      Fmaj7/C
And I was just a kid

Verse 2:
C                Fmaj7/C
And clueless, you never stop to wonder
             C
If lightning strikes the thunder
          Fmaj7/C
Or if it’s just coincidence

Chorus 1:
C
Every time your father beat you down

You told him, "Dad it wont be long,"
      Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

Verse 3:
C
And hated
         Fmaj7/C              C
Your bedroom is a dark place, but you've broken all the doorways
           Fmaj7/C
And now you're stuck inside

Verse 4:
C
But hopeful
       Fmaj7/C                    C
Your memory's still around though, you can see it from your window
        Fmaj7/C
As it starts to pass you by

Pre-Chorus:
Am
Now I'm in your car, you hold your apples in your arms
     Fmaj7/C
You're a friend I used to know, but you still lean against my walls
    Am
Tell me beauty I won't bluff, I set my mind to worthless stuff
     Fmaj7/C
But I was hoping you'd have the decadence, the appetite of love
      C          Fmaj7/C
But that's alright, yeah that’s alright

Chorus 2:
C
Every time your father beat you down

You told him, "Dad it wont be long,"
      Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

       C
And when you came to me, and said, "We gotta leave,"

And so we took your parents' car
      Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

      C
And when we got away, but in a couple days

We crashed in Arkansas
      Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong

       C
And when the cop cars came and took you away

I knew I had to write this song
      Fmaj7/C
And as your tiny body slept that night, I had my lamplight burning strong
