When The Lights Go Out Uke tab by Crybaby

Intro: E


  E
I sat at your bedside

Mumbling to sorrow

holding onto your hand

My back against morrow
          A
There’s a beauty in this
                         E
A privilege in parting I know


    E
The years turned to days

The days turned to hours

Penitent in black

Pressing flesh amongst the flowers
    A
I regret a lot and said a lot of things
                        E
I never thought I would say
      B
But I think about her
  Am                   E
I think about her everyday


         E
Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars
         A
When the lights went out
        E
She was burning bright

When we said goodnight
         A
Then the lights went out
                  C
Oh honey when the lights go out
                E
Will I see you again?


E
Plucking out their heartstrings

Rattling their cages

Butter fingered lovers

Ripping out the pages
       A
To the rules of the game
                         E
They’re never willing to play
      B
But I think about her
      A                    E
And I think about her everyday


         E
Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars
         A
When the lights went out
        E
She was burning bright

When we said goodnight
         A
Then the lights went out
                  C
Oh honey when the lights go out
                E
Will I see you again?


   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


         E
Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars
         A
When the lights went out
        E
She was burning bright

When we said goodnight
         A
Then the lights went out
                  C
Oh honey when the lights go out
                E
Will I see you again?


         E
Well the night was ours

We were swinging in the stars
         A
When the lights went out
        E
She was burning bright

Into the middle of the night
         A
Then the lights went out
                  C
Oh honey when the lights go out
                E
Will I see you again?
                C
Will I see you again?
                E
Will I see you again?
