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