1st traste
[Verse 1]
A E
I grew up out in the desert
B
Where I learned to thrive alone
A E B
Lived in L.A 'til it broke me, oh, I rode on like a storm
A E B
Found a girl and found a job, just like they say good people do
A E B
But every now and then, I turn to salt inside her wound
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A E B
Oh, and all I know
A E B
Is we can't, we won't let go
 
[Chorus]
A E B
Keeping the light on, light on ain't easy
A E B
Keeping the fight on, so long, is hard to do
A E
For all the times you feel the weight
B
There might just be a better way
A E B
Don't deny that it feels so hard
A E B
When the night gets so dark
A E B
Keep keeping the light on
 
[Verse 2]
A E
When I'm trying to get better
B
Every day I chase the sun
A E B
And I pray it's worth the heartache when I'm done
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A E B
Oh, and all I know
A E B
Is we can't, we won't let go
 
[Chorus]
A E B
Keeping the light on, light on ain't easy
A E B
Keeping the fight on, so long, is hard to do
A E
For all the times you feel the weight
B
There might just be a better way
A E B
Don't deny that it feels so hard
A E B
When the night gets so dark
A E B
Keep keeping the light on
 
[Bridge]
A E
Try to give a little, try to be a little
B
Try to see a light in the dark
A E
Try to give a little, try to be a little
B
Try to see a light in the dark
A E
Try to give a little, try to be a little
B
Try to see a light in the dark
A E
Try to give a little, try to be a little
B
Try to see a light in the dark
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A E B
Oh, we can't, we won't let go
 
[Chorus]
A E B
Keeping the light on, light on ain't easy
A E B
Keeping the fight on, so long, is hard to do
A E
For all the times you feel the weight
B
There might just be a better way
A E B
Don't deny that it feels so hard
A E B
When the night gets so dark
A E B
Keep keeping the light on
 
[Outro]
A E
Try to give a little, try to be a little
B
Try to see a light in the dark
A E
Try to give a little, try to be a little
B
Try to see a light in the dark
