Night Windows
View chords used in this chart
Verse 1
G Em C
In the stick-count for the song of knowing you're gone
G Em C
Glancing up at where you lived when you lived here
G Em C
I see you suddenly alive and nearly smiling
G Em C
Stop and hold my breath and watch the way you used to be
[Refrão]D C Em G C
The full moon makes our faces shine like over-ironed polyester
D C
Then disappears behind the clouds
Em G C G
And leaves me under empty rows of night windows
Verse 2
G Em C
We could walk to where these streets get pulled together
G Em C
A blinking line with gravel shoulders squared towards an end
G Em C
Where the radio resounds from doppling traffic
G Em C
Where the power lines steal esses from the hourly news
Chorus
D C Em G C
De-pluralize our casualties and drown the generals out in static
D 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
G D Bm C
And I won't ever get to say
G D Bm C
"Remember how... I'm sorry that... I miss the way... Could we..."
End on G
