G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
In the stick-count for the song of knowing you're gone
G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here
G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling
G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
Stop and hold my breath and watch the way you used to be
[Chorus 1]

D MajorD C majorC
The full moon makes our faces shine
E minorEm G+G C majorC
Like over-ironed polyester
D MajorD C majorC
Then disappears behind the clouds
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And leaves me under empty rows of night windows
Play twice:

G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
We could walk to where these streets get pulled together
G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
A augmentedA blinking line with gravel shoulders squared towards an end
G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic
G+G E minorEm C majorC A7A7 C majorC
Where the power lines steal esses from the hourly news
[Chorus 2]

D MajorD C majorC
De-pluralize our casualties
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And drown the generals out in static
D MajorD C majorC
We'd turn and watch our city sprawl
E minorEm G+G C majorC
And send us signals in the glow of night windows
