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