 B              F# 
The stars lean down to kiss you,

 Abm         E 
And I lie awake and miss you.

 B          F#            Abm        E 
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.

 B                   F# 
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,

 Abm                 E 
But I'll miss your arms around me.

 B            F# 
I'd send a postcard to you dear,

 Abm          E 
Cause I wish you were here.

B, F#, Abm, E x4 (same chord progression as above)


 B                F# 
I'll watch the night turn light blue,

 Abm               E 
But it's not the same without you

 B                F#              Abm      E 
Because it takes two to whisper quietly.

 B            F# 
The silence isn't so bad

 Abm               E 
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad

 B                  F#                   Abm                   E 
Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.


(This is the little keyboard riff that goes from
"I'll find repose..." to "... I don't feel so alone.")

 B            F# 
I'll find repose in new ways,

 Abm               E 
Though I haven't slept in two days

 B            F#                Abm          E 
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.

 B                 F# 
But drenched in vanilla twilight,

 Abm               E 
I'll sit on the front porch all night

 B             F#                     Abm             E 
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you I don't feel so alone.

 C#m    Abm   F# 

             C#m      Abm    E 
I don't feel so alone.

             C#m      Abm    F#   E 
I don't feel so alone.

   B     F#        C#m        Abm       E           
As many times as I blink I'll think of you, tonight.

              B    Abm      E 
I'll think of you tonight.

 B    E       F# 

 C#           Ab           
When violet eyes get brighter

 Bbm         F# 
And heavy wings grow lighter

 C#             Ab            Bbm         F# 
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.

 C#                  Ab 
And I'll forget the world that I knew,

 Bbm            F# 
But I swear I won't forget you.

 C#       Ab                     Bbm 
Oh, if my voice could reach back through the past

    F#              Ab 
I'd whisper in your ear... Oh darling I wish you were here.
