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