Intro
B5 G#m7 (x2)
[Verse]
B5
The night hangs blue on the black sea
G#m7
And the wind whips through your hair
B5
I’ve been gone for a lifetime
G#m7
And I followed your cries here
B5
And those cries sent me wandering
G#m7
And I brought what of the world that I could carry back for you
B5
Just you and I on the shoreline
G#m7
And the stars that shimmer on and on. I’m lost without you near me
E
Show me to the moon
[Chorus]
C#m B/G# F# E
Cause I don’t think that I’d survive without you anyway
B F# E
Show me to the moon so I can keep my ills at bay
B F# E
Or fade into her light and wander on eternally
E
Show me to the moon
[Interlude]
B B/G# (x2)
[Verse]
B5
I always swore I was trying
G#m7
And I ruined perfect moments like the times where we would stay
B5
Awake all night between bed sheets
G#m7
And I loved you like the spring and I was reaching for the sun
B5
You replied with a smile
G#m7
And an unrequiting stare that sent me off through lonely weather
B5
I’ll return in the summer
G#m7
And fall out the door before I hear you say that I’m not welcome
[Interlude]
E F# B
[Outro]
B5 B/G G#m7 E
Then, as if by song, I will reappear on some quiet winter dawn
B F# E
And you’ll be tired, so tired of singing along
