Verse:

   E MajorE                    A augmentedA
My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
   E MajorE                       A augmentedA
As December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
     E MajorE                      A augmentedA
And they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
    E MajorE                        A augmentedA
And I can't stop finding your face in their faces, all rearranged
   BB       B/C
And angry like you never were

Chorus:

    E MajorE
And I ease us back into traffic
A augmentedA
Dusk comes on and I wonder
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Why I'm always remembering you
     E5E5   E/Eb C#5C#5 B5B5
At civil twilight

Verse:

     E MajorE                       A augmentedA
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
     E MajorE                     A augmentedA
All the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
   E MajorE                     A augmentedA
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
   E MajorE                A augmentedA
Oh, Ontario, oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh
BB        B/C
This part of the day bewilders me

Chorus:

E MajorE
Streets slow down and ice over,
A augmentedA
Dusk comes on and I struggle
  E MajorE                 A augmentedA
To stop, to stop, to stop thinking of you
     E5E5   E/Eb C#5C#5 B5B5
At civil twilight

Bridge:

F# minorF#m           G# minorG#m
Hey, every other hour I pass that house,
      A augmentedA        BB   B/C
Where you told me that you had to go
F# minorF#m              G# minorG#m
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
    A augmentedA           BB   B/C
That I stared at, instead of staring back

Chorus:

  E MajorE
At you. My chance to say something
A augmentedA
Seemed so brief but it wasn't
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Now I know I had plenty of time
       E MajorE
Between the sunset and certified darkness
A augmentedA
Dusk comes on and I follow
    E MajorE              A augmentedA
The exhaust from memory up to the end
     E5E5   E/Eb C#5C#5 B5B5 A augmentedA
At civil twilight
     E5E5   E/Eb C#5C#5 B5B5 A augmentedA
At civil twilight
     E5E5   E/Eb C#5C#5 B5B5 A augmentedA
At civil twilight
     E5E5   E/Eb C#5C#5 B5B5  E MajorE
