Verse 1:

G     Em         C    A7   C7
 In the stick-count for the song of knowing you're gone
G     Em       C          A7  C7
 Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here
G      Em    C     A7   C7
 I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling
G     Em         C         A7   C7
 Stop and hold my breath and watch the way you used to be


Chorus 1:

Dadd4        C
 The full moon makes our faces shine
Em     G     C
 Like over-ironed polyester
Dadd4      C
 Then disappears behind the clouds
Em       G        C      G
 And leaves me under empty rows of night windows

Verse 2:

G     Em         C      A7    C7
 We could walk to where these streets get pulled together
G      Em        C          A7    C7
 A blinking line with gravel shoulders squared towards an end
G      Em   C      A7    C7
 Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic
G      Em        C       A7   C7
 Where the power lines steal esses from the hourly news

Chorus 2:

Dadd4     C
 De-pluralize our casualties
Em       G        C
 And drown the generals out in static
Dadd4        C
 We'd turn and watch our city sprawl
Em      G         C      G
 And send us signals in the glow of night windows
   G
Night windows
   G
Night windows
