Verse Chorus Outro ---------- ------------- ---------- G 320033 Dadd4 x5403x G 320033 Em 022000 C x3201x D x00232 C x32010 Em 0220xx Bm x2443x A7 x02020 G 3200xx C x32010 -- Plucked notes shown at bottom -- [Verse 1]
G        Em                  C       A7             C
  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

G           Em        C        A7     C
  I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling

G          Em                 C                 A7      C
  Stop and hold my breath and watch the way you used to be
[Chorus 1]
Dadd4                C               
  The full moon makes our faces shine 

Em          G          C
  Like over-ironed polyester

Dadd4            C                 
  Then disappears behind the clouds

Em              G               C            G
  And leaves me under empty rows of night windows
[Verse 2]
G          Em                  C           A7       C
  We could walk to where these streets get pulled together

G            Em               C                   A7       C
  A blinking line with gravel shoulders squared towards an end

G           Em      C           A7       C
  Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic

G           Em                C              A7     C
  Where the power lines steal esses from the hourly news
[Chorus 2]
Dadd4         C              
  De-pluralize our casualties 

Em              G               C
  And drown the generals out in static

Dadd4                C
  We'd turn and watch our city sprawl

Em            G                  C            G
  And send us signals in the glow of night windows
[Outro]
G            D  Bm      C 
  But you're not coming home again (night windows)

G       D    Bm    C
  And I won't ever get to say (night windows)

    G                 D               Bm                    C
 "Remember how... I'm sorry that... I miss the way... Could we..."

    G                 D               Bm                    C
 "Remember how... I'm sorry that... I miss the way... Could we..."

           G   D   Bm   C
  Night windows

           G   D   Bm   C
  Night windows

           G   D   Bm   C   G
  Night windows
