[Intro: Solo acoustic guitar, warm and unhurried, audience quiet with anticipation of the close] - Chord Progression: D - G - A - Bm [Verse 1: Weathered, sincere male vocal, grateful and settled] D G It's getting on toward closing time, the room's gone soft and low A Bm I've told you nearly everything I know how to let go D G Fifteen songs of gravel roads, of rain and quiet grace A Bm And somehow every one of them led back to this one place [Pre-Chorus: Vocal lifts, guitar dynamics rise] G A So here's to the last light out, the last song of the night G A Here's to everybody sitting in this borrowed light [Chorus: Full band and soulful female guest vocal, warm and full-hearted] D G A Bm It's the last light out, and I'm not scared of the dark D G A Bm Not tonight, not with all of you carrying a piece of this with me G A D One room, one voice, and everything we gave away G A Is worth more than anything I could've kept and saved [Interlude: Extended, warm guitar solo, restrained and grateful, upright bass walking gently beneath] - Chord Progression: G - A - Bm - D (Repeating) [Verse 2: Vocal warmer, reflective, nearly conversational] D G I came in here a stranger to most everyone tonight A Bm Leaving out as something closer, leaving out feeling light D G That's the whole of what this music ever tried to do A Bm Turn one room, one voice, into something shared with you [Pre-Chorus: Repeat, guest vocal harmony rises] G A So here's to the last light out, the last song of the night G A Here's to everybody sitting in this borrowed light [Bridge: Instrumentation eases, voice and guitar alone, tender and unguarded] Bm G Wherever this road bends next, I'll carry this room with me A D This one night, one voice, one chance to finally just be seen [Final Chorus: Full band and guest vocal together, warm, grateful, unhurried but complete] D G A Bm It's the last light out, and I'm not scared of the dark D G A Bm Not tonight, not with all of you carrying a piece of this with me G A D One room, one voice, and everything we gave away G A D Is worth more than anything I could've kept, could've saved [Outro: Guitar fades slow, last chord rings out fully before dying into warm, sustained applause] - Chord Progression: D (let ring) [End]
