Am   G                  F     C G*     Words mean more at night
Am   G      F     Like a song
            Fm   C      D     And did you ever notice
        F                        Fm          C     The way light means more than it did all day long



Am   G                  F     C G*     Words mean more at night
Am   G           F     Light means more
               Fm            C             D     Like your hair and your face and your smile
             F           Fm             C     And our bed and the dress that you wore

     F       Fm          C     So I'll send you my words
     F        Fm            C     From the corners of my room
     F            Fm         C               D     And though I write them by the light of day
            F                Fm           C     Please read them by the light of the moon


F   Fm   C


Am         G            F        C    G*     And I wish I could leave my bones
Am   G      F     And my skin
F              Fm       C            D     And float over the tired, tired sea
             F       Fm       C     So that I could see you again



F   Fm   C


Am   G               F        C  G*        Maybe you would leave too
Am            G                 F     And we'd blindly pass each other
F             Fm       C     D     Floating over the ocean blue
             F             Fm         C     Just to find the warm bed of our lover
