Tom: C#m
E
[Verse 1]
E
I sat by your bedside
Mumbling to sorrow
E
Holding onto your hand
My back against the morrow
A
There’s a beauty in this
E
A privilege in parting I know
[Verse 2]
E
The years turned to days
And days turned to hours
E
Penitent in black
Pressing flesh amongst the flowers
A
I regret a lot and said a lot of things
E
I never thought I would say
B
And I think about her
Am E
I think about her everyday
[Chorus]
E
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A
When the lights went out
E
She was burning bright
When we said goodnight
A
Then the lights went out
C
Oh honey when the lights go out
E
Will I see you again?
[Verse 3]
E
Plucking out your heartstrings
Rattling their cages
E
Butter fingered lovers
Ripping out the pages
A
To the rules of the game
E
They’re never willing to play
B
Oh I think about her
A E
And I think about her everyday
[Chorus]
E
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A
When the lights went out
E
She was burning bright
As we said goodnight
A
Then the lights went out
C
Oh honey when the lights go out
E
Will I see you again?
[Bridge]
E Eb
We traced her steps across linoleum in kitten heels
F#m C
And pressed our faces in the crush of velveteen and satin trim
E Eb
She kept her faith on windowsills in plastic figurines
F#m B
Dedicated to a life spent letting go go gone
[Chorus]
E
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A
When the lights went out
E
She was burning bright
When we said goodnight
A
Then the lights went out
C
Oh honey when the lights go out
E
Will I see you again?
E
Yeah the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A
When the lights went out
E
She was burning bright
Into the middle of the night
A
Then the lights went out
C
Oh honey when the lights go out
E
Will I see you again?
C
Will I see you again?
E
Will I see you again?
