Intro
F
[Verse 1]
F
I sat by your bedside
Mumbling to sorrow
F
Holding onto your hand
My back against the morrow
A#
There’s a beauty in this
F
A# 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
A#
I regret a lot and said a lot of things
F
I never thought I would say
C
And I think about her
A#m F
I think about her everyday
[Chorus]
F
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A#
When the lights went out
F
She was burning bright
When we said goodnight
A#
Then the lights went out
C#
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
A#
To the rules of the game
F
They’re never willing to play
C
Oh I think about her
A# F
And I think about her everyday
[Chorus]
F
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A#
When the lights went out
F
She was burning bright
As we said goodnight
A#
Then the lights went out
C#
Oh honey when the lights go out
F
Will I see you again?
[Bridge]
F Fb
We traced her steps across linoleum in kitten heels
Gm C#
And pressed our faces in the crush of velveteen and satin trim
F Fb
She kept her faith on windowsills in plastic figurines
Gm C
Dedicated to a life spent letting go go gone
[Chorus]
F
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
A#
When the lights went out
F
She was burning bright
When we said goodnight
A#
Then the lights went out
C#
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
A#
When the lights went out
F
She was burning bright
Into the middle of the night
A#
Then the lights went out
C#
Oh honey when the lights go out
F
Will I see you again?
C#
Will I see you again?
F
Will I see you again?
