When I Take Out The Garbage At Night

     C            G/B          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        G/B   Em
And with the lightning and thunder coming in over the mountains
                     Dm            C G/B Am
But when I walk back into the house
           Dm
Looking up at the window from the back step
         C             G/B           Am
The dark window of the room that you died in
              Dm
The big empty room on the second floor
C              G/B             Am
Cold because I won't close the window
        C              G/B            Am
Just in case something still needs to leave
               F
I stand in the yard and look up

C G/B Am

[Verse]
                Dm
And the dark rectangle blares your face
           F                               C    G/B 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
