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