G          Em                  C       A7      C7
  In the stick-count for the song of knowing you're gone

G          Em              C                    A7   C7
  Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here

G           Em        C          A7     C7
  I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling

G          Em                 C                 A7      C7
  Stop and hold my breath and watch the way you used to be

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

G          Em                  C           A7       C7
  We could walk to where these streets get pulled together

G            Em               C                   A7       C7
  A blinking line with gravel shoulders squared towards an end

G           Em      C           A7       C7
  Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic

G           Em                C              A7     C7
  Where the power lines steal esses from the hourly news

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

      G
Night windows

      G
Night windows

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..."
