Misc Musicals – Dear Evan Hansen - A Little Bit Of Light (Guitar)

E
All that I’ve thought about

D
is how hard he would slam that

E
bedroom door,

G
Every night after dinner.

B         E
Wild-eyed and weary

A
 from all those nights of fighting a war

E            B
Where no one was the winner.

F#m         C#m   A
The missing pills from the medicine cabinet.

F#m
The missing kid

A
found passed out in the park.

F#m
All those demons

E
that he wouldn’t let up,

B                      E                A
They kept dragging him down through the dark.

B   D          A
But there were moments.

E        F#m
He had moments,

E                    B
With a little bit of light.

A
In those moments, he was happy.

B              C#m
He was trying still to fight.

E                                 D
And maybe the battle he fought wasn’t

A
one he could win,

C#m                          A               F#m   C#m
But at least there were days when he let the light in.

A
In those moments,

F#m             E
a little bit of light.

A
I don't remember the last time I heard him laugh

A
Well ah he used to laugh all the time.  He did?

C#m                A
Um he, he, he had a great great, sense of humor?

A
Hoho he used to love jokes when he was a little boy

C#m     E           A
Why did the chicken cross the road?  He had a million different answers to that one.

E          B           E
One day he said to me, mom why did the duck cross the road?

A
Because he wanted to prove that he wasn't chicken.

E
I remember picnics and little league and Sundays at the zoo.

A
I remember how he smiled.

E
And years of trick or treating.  A spider man he stood at four foot two.

A
Such a happy child

B
But it seems like I woke up one morning.

F#m
Sweet little boy he was.

B
Suddenly gone.

E
Something had switched off the

A      E        A        E         B
Light  and it seemed like it never quite came back on

A
There were moments

F#m
Yeah there were moments

E
A little bit of light in those moments

A          F#m
He had someone

A           C#m
who was helping him to fight

E            D
And the battle he fought

A
he just had to win

C#m
What I miss were the days

C#m                   A
when he let the light in.

B           A
In those moments,

E                 A
A little bit of light.
