[Verse]

C G/B Am

When I take out the garbage at night

I'm not with you then exactly

C G Em

I'm with the universe

Dm C G/B Em

And with the lightning and thunder coming in over the mountains

Dm C G/B Am

But when I walk back into the house

Looking up at the window from the back step

C G/B Am

The dark window of the room that you died in

The big empty room on the second floor

C G/B Am

Cold because I won't close the window

C G/B Am

Just in case something still needs to leave

I stand in the yard and look up

[Instrumental]

C G/B Am

[Verse]

And the dark rectangle blares your face

F C G/B Am

All of our moments condensed into a thunderclap

C G Em

When I take out the garbage at night

And then have to go back in and live on

[Outro]

C G/B Am

C G Em
