Moon Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E A

EShe said look at the moon,

It's like a fingernail clipping

AA slippery light in the cold black sky

EI gave her my coat, held her close and she cried A

EAs the sun came up over the jagged skyline,

AThe silence amplified our beating hearts

EAnd I didn't answer when she asked why A

Chorus

F♯mOne life to live

Many paths to take

AOne twists and turns and falls away

EAnd flowers bloom in brilliant light

EAnd fade away into the night

F♯mSo much to lose

Or so it seems

AThese idle games and children's dreams

EHow they confound and split the seams inside my mind

F♯mI just keep moving on into the unknown

EAnd I go walking alone near the St. Augustine bell

AAnd thinking about you since you went away

EWe used to sit here and watch as the shadows played A

EAnd if I try real hard, I can remember that sound

ARinging out just like a clarion

EEchoing off of the wall of the dark arcade A

Chorus

CmYou know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath

AI try to be cool, I try to push it down

EI walk like I know where to go on a Friday night B

CmAnd the city streets are the fangs of a beast

AYeah it's always tired, but it never sleeps

EI cry with the silence, dance with the freaks

BCome on, I'm getting on into the unknownF♯m.
