[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
