Chords with lyrics

E minorEm B minorBm C majorC A minorAm E minorEm

 E minorEm Em/F# G+G
When you walked with me
             C majorC
away from the strip mall bar
 C/BC/B    A minorAm
across the highway
     D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD
to that little graveyard

    G+G
Where plastic flowers
          C majorC
bloomed in yellow grass
 C/BC/B  A minorAm      D MajorD
we sat on a broken bench
 C majorC           G+G
listening to the cars pass

   G+G
And right above your head
     C majorC
in the branches of a tree
C/BC/B     A minorAm
there were white lights
     D MajorD       G+G  D MajorD
swaying slowly in the breeze

      E minorEm
There were white lights,
 B minorBm
white lights,
 C majorC
white lights
 A minorAm     E minorEm
swaying in a tree

Em/F# G+G
  I know they were there
     C majorC            C/BC/B
to stop kids kicking over graves
   A minorAm       D MajorD
or spray-painting tree trunks
      C majorC          G+G
with their favorite rock band's name

   G+G
But sitting there with you
    C majorC
almost touching your white hand
 C/BC/B    A minorAm
among the broken bottles
 D MajorD        G+G D MajorD
crushed and faded cans

      E minorEm
And those white lights,
 B minorBm
white lights,
 C majorC
white lights
 A minorAm       E minorEm
swaying in the breeze

  Em/F# G+G
There was mystery
          C majorC  C/BC/B
singing from everything
   A minorAm       D MajorD
the strip mall, the highway
   C majorC         G+G
the boarded-up skating rink

      G+G
They were calling our names
     C majorC
in the strip mall parking lot
 C/BC/B    A minorAm
our sweet drunken friends
     D MajorD       G+G D MajorD
finally noticing we'd gone

   G+G
But we just sat there
   C majorC
not saying anything
 C/BC/B  A minorAm         D MajorD
almost touching hands your hair
    C majorC        G+G  D MajorD
flying in the highway breeze

       E minorEm
Like those white lights,
 B minorBm
white lights,
 C majorC
white lights
 A minorAm     E minorEm Em/F#
swaying in a tree
