When The Lights Go Out

E

E
I sat by your bedside
Mumbling to sorrow
E
Holding onto your hand
My back against the morrow
          A
There’s a beauty in this
                         E
A privilege in parting I know

    E
The years turned to days
And days turned to hours
E
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
And I think about her
  Am                    E
I think about her everyday

         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
Plucking out your heartstrings
Rattling their cages
E
Butter fingered lovers
Ripping out the pages
       A
To the rules of the game
                           E
They’re never willing to play
       B
Oh I think about her
        A                  E
And I think about her everyday

         E
Well the night was ours
We were swinging in the stars
          A
When the lights went out
         E
She was burning bright
As we said goodnight
          A
Then the lights went out
                   C
Oh honey when the lights go out
                 E
Will I see you again?

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

         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
Yeah 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
Will I see you again?
