E Riff
[Verse]
A E
Four AM
D
New York time
E A
It was raining of course that night
E
You threw your guitar
D
In the back of a car
G E C#m
And I just let you go
F#m G A
'Cause sometimes what's right isn't fair
Bm E A
And what's fair is just for show
[Chorus]
E D D A Asus2
But the light, the light, the light
E D D A F#m
Shone lilac through the window
E D
And you were all aglow
A
I should have let you know
[Verse]
A E
Five AM dark
D
Brought the thought
A E A
A baby born in the year you died
E D
Would be about in high school now
E C#m
And maybe digging up your pretty songs
F#m A
I hear her teen feet
Bm E
As they beat along Christopher Street
A E D D A Asus2
And the light, the light, the light
E D D A F#m
Shone lilac through the window
E D A
And you were all aglow
[Chorus]
E D D A Asus2
The light, the light, the light
E D D A F#m
Flew out of your fingers
E D
And set us all aglow
[Bridge]
G D
And what if I had only kissed you
G D
If I'd just leaned into your shoulder
G C
Or maybe slashed your tires Or knocked you out somehow
E Bm A
What might be different now
[Chorus]
E D A
The light, the light, the light
E D D A Asus
Shone lilac through the window
E D A
And you were all aglow
E D
The light, the light, the light
E D D A F#m
Shone lilac through the window
E D
And you were all aglow
A G
Should have let you know
A F#m A
Should have let you know
