When you walked with me
C
away from the strip mall bar
C/B Am
across the highway
D G D
to that little graveyard
G
Where plastic flowers
C
bloomed in yellow grass
C/B Am D
we sat on a broken bench
C G
listening to the cars pass
G
And right above your head
C
in the branches of a tree
C/B Am
there were white lights
D G D
swaying slowly in the breeze
Em
There were white lights,
Bm
white lights,
C
white lights
Am Em
swaying in a tree
Em/F# G
I know they were there
C C/B
to stop kids kicking over graves
Am D
or spray-painting tree trunks
C G
with their favorite rock band's name
G
But sitting there with you
C
almost touching your white hand
C/B Am
among the broken bottles
D G D
crushed and faded cans
Em
And those white lights,
Bm
white lights,
C
white lights
Am Em
swaying in the breeze
Em/F# G
There was mystery
C C/B
singing from everything
Am D
the strip mall, the highway
C G
the boarded-up skating rink
G
They were calling our names
C
in the strip mall parking lot
C/B Am
our sweet drunken friends
D G D
finally noticing we'd gone
G
But we just sat there
C
not saying anything
C/B Am D
almost touching hands your hair
C G D
flying in the highway breeze
Em
Like those white lights,
Bm
white lights,
C
white lights
Am Em Em/F#
swaying in a tree
