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