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