EmAnd leaves me Gunder empty rows Cof night winGdows

GA blinking Emline with gravel Cshoulders squared toA7wards an Cend
GWhere the Emradio reCsounds from A7doppling Ctraffic
GWhere the Empower lines steal Cesses from the A7hourly Cnews
[Chorus 2]
Dadd4De-pluralize Cour casualties
EmAnd drown the Ggenerals out in Cstatic
Dadd4We'd turn and watch Cour city sprawl
EmAnd send us Gsignals in the glow Cof night winGdows

In the stick-count for the song of knowing you're gone
G Em C A7 C
Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here

I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling

Stop and hold my breath and watch the way you used to be
[Chorus 1]

Like over-ironed polyester

G Em C A7 C
We could walk to where these streets get pulled together
