(Verse)
C G Am
When I take out the garbage at night
Dm
I'm not with you then exactly
C G Em
I'm with the universe
Dm C Em
And with the lightning and thunder coming in over the mountains
Dm Am
But when I walk back into the house
Dm
Looking up at the window from the back step
C G Am
The dark window of the room that you died in
Dm
The big empty room on the second floor
C G Am
Cold because I won't close the window
C G Am
Just in case something still needs to leave
F
I stand in the yard and look up
(Instrumental)

(Verse)
Dm
And the dark rectangle blares your face
F C Am
All of our moments condensed into a thunderclap
Dm
C G Em
When I take out the garbage at night
Dm
And then have to go back in and live on
