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

B           F#
I watch the night turn light blue,
G#m               E
But it's not the same without you,
B                 F#             C#m     E
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because when I think of you

                  E B/D# F#
I don't feel so alone
                 C#m B/D# E
I don't feel so alone
   F#             E B/D# E F#
I don't feel so alone

    G#m                                  E
As many times as I blink, I'll think of you
  Em
Tonight

I'll think of you tonight

C#          G#
When violet eyes get brighter,
A#m         F#
And heavy wings grow lighter,
C#              G#           D#m     F#
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
C#                  G#
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
A#m           F#
But I swear I won't forget you,
C#        G#                     D#m
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
      F#             G#
I'd whisper in your ear,
G#
Oh darling I wish you were here.
