Bm    A
Verse 1:
  BmQuesting,   AI am not coasting.
  BmNor will I ever,   Adespite this weather. I said,
Prechorus 1:
  D"Hey you, what's new?   GI know your face."
  D"Hey you, what's new?   GLet's go some place."
  DMy thoughts that flit, my Gloosening grip.
  D"I need to connect to you   Gnow."
Chorus 1:
DOn our knees against the Gwindowsill.
AWatching the sheet lightning Gfly.
  AOur hands caught spray from the Gopen window.
  AA blanket of light, a whitewashed Gsky.
Verse 2:
  BmYou move your frame   Ainto the shape.
  BmThe window makes   Aa lunar flame.
  BmStatic headlights glow   Ain the flooded streets below.
  BmThe TV turns to snow,   Agutters weep with overflow. I said,

  D"And I need to connect to you   Gnow."

D                        Bm
  DThanks for coming by,     Bmit's such a dreadful Dnight.
  A net curtain flashes,    Bmoutside the rain it lashes.
  DFrozen stardust falls,    Bmwide eyes can see it all.

DOn our knees against the Gwindowsill.
AWatching the sheet lightning Gfly.

AWatching the sheet lightning Gfly.
  AOur hands caught spray from the Gopen window.
Thanks for coming Dby.
