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


     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


F   Fm   C

F   Fm   C   D
F   Fm   C


F             Fm          C
     And 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
