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
Gm 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
A#
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
A#
Oh honey when the lights go out
D
Will I see you again?
[Bridge]
D Db
We traced her steps across linoleum in kitten heels
Em A#
And pressed our faces in the crush of velveteen and satin trim
D Db
She kept her faith on windowsills in plastic figurines
Em 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
A#
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
A#
Oh honey when the lights go out
D
Will I see you again?
A#
Will I see you again?
D
Will I see you again?
