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