[Verse 1]
C G
The stars lean down to kiss you,
Am F
And I lie awake and miss you,
C G Am F
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
C G
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
Am F
But I'll miss your arms around me
C G Dm
I'll send a postcard to you dear,
F
Cause I wish you were here.

C G Am F C G Dm F
[Verse 2]
C G
I watch the night turn light blue,
Am F
But it's not the same without you,
C G Dm F
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,
C G
The silence isn't so bad,
Am F
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
C G
Cause the spaces between my fingers
Dm F
Are right where yours fit perfectly.
C G
I'll find repose in new ways,
Am F
Though I haven't slept in two days,
C G Dm F
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
C G
But drenched in Vanilla twilight,
Am F
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
C G Dm
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
F F C G
I don't feel so alone.
G Dm C F
I don't feel so alone.
G Dm C F
I don't feel so alone.
Am G#/Am G F#/G F F7
As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
Em F G x4
I'll think of you tonight.
[Verse 3] *KEY CHANGE*
D A
When violet eyes get brighter,
Bm G
And heavy wings grow lighter,
D A Em G
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
D A
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
Bm G
But I swear I won't forget you,
D A Em G
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
A
I'd whisper in your ear,
A
Oh darling I wish you were here.
