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