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
E
And I think about her
Dm 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
E
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 Ab
We traced her steps across linoleum in kitten heels
Bm F
And pressed our faces in the crush of velveteen and satin trim
A Ab
She kept her faith on windowsills in plastic figurines
Bm E
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?
