[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EI sat by your bedside
Mumbling to sorrow
EHolding onto your hand
My back against the morrow
There’s a Abeauty in this
A privilege in parting I Eknow
[Verse 2]
The Eyears turned to days
And days turned to hours
EPenitent in black
Pressing flesh amongst the flowers
I reAgret a lot and said a lot of things
I never thought I would sEay
And I Bthink about her
I Amthink about her everydEay
[Chorus]
Well the Enight was ours
We were swinging in the stars
When the lAights went out
She was bEurning bright
When we said goodnight
Then the lAights went out
Oh honey when the lCights go out
Will I see you agEain?
[Verse 3]
EPlucking out your heartstrings
Rattling their cages
EButter fingered lovers
Ripping out the pages
To the Arules of the game
They’re never willing to plEay
Oh I thBink about her
And I thAink about her everyEday
[Chorus]
Well the Enight was ours
We were swinging in the stars
When the lAights went out
She was bEurning bright
As we said goodnight
Then the lAights went out
Oh honey when the lCights go out
Will I see you agEain?
[Bridge]
EWe traced her steps across linEboleum in kitten heels
    F#mAnd pressed our faces in the crCush of velveteen and satin trim
  EShe kept her faith on windowEbsills in plastic figurines
    F#mDedicated to a lBife spent letting go go gone
[Chorus]
Well the Enight was ours
We were swinging in the stars
When the lAights went out
She was bEurning bright
When we said goodnight
Then the lAights went out
Oh honey when the lCights go out
Will I see you agEain?
Yeah the Enight was ours
We were swinging in the stars
When the lAights went out
She was bEurning bright
Into the middle of the night
Then the lAights went out
Oh honey when the lCights go out
Will I see you agEain?
Will I see you agCain?
Will I see you agEain?

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I sat by your bedside

Mumbling to sorrow

Holding onto your hand

My back against the morrow

There’s a beauty in this

A privilege in parting I know

[Verse 2]

The years turned to days

And days turned to hours

Penitent in black

Pressing flesh amongst the flowers

I regret a lot and said a lot of things

I never thought I would say

And I think about her

Am E

I think about her everyday

[Chorus]

Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars

When the lights went out

She was burning bright

When we said goodnight

Then the lights went out

Oh honey when the lights go out

Will I see you again?

[Verse 3]

Plucking out your heartstrings

Rattling their cages

Butter fingered lovers

Ripping out the pages

To the rules of the game

They’re never willing to play

Oh I think about her

A E

And I think about her everyday

[Chorus]

Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars

When the lights went out

She was burning bright

As we said goodnight

Then the lights went out

Oh honey when the lights go out

Will I see you again?

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars

When the lights went out

She was burning bright

When we said goodnight

Then the lights went out

Oh honey when the lights go out

Will I see you again?

Yeah the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars

When the lights went out

She was burning bright

Into the middle of the night

Then the lights went out

Oh honey when the lights go out

Will I see you again?
