Intro: Em Bm C Am Em 

 Em Em/F# G 
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 

G C Am D G D G
