The Moon

*********************

Intro

D  G  Em  G  A
D   G
       Ooh, be my baby...
Em                   G               A
      Why won't they let us fall in love?

Verse 1

D                       G
 I stayed up late listening to the Ronettes,
                 Em
Thinking about teenage nights and car headlights
         G
And the heaviest of passionate breaths.
D                      G
 It's all tumbling down, I think we're coming around.
             Em
We got the greatest moments of our lives,
           G                 A
They're recorded in stereo sound.

Verse 2

D               G
 Leaves in fall, and buildings tall,
   Em
A million people at night looking up at the sky
G
 Like a big blank wall.
D              G
 A booming hive on Lake Shore Drive,
        Em
All the bugs crawl along with the radio on
                  G                   A
And they're just keeping the queen alive.

Pre-Chorus 1

    Bm   A             G
My heart sinks at the sunrise.
    Bm       A         G
My hands are moving clockwise.
      Bm        A            G
It's hard to explain the phenomenal pain, sister,
Dmaj7           Bm
  Reflected in your eyes,
Dmaj7           Bm
  Reflected in your eyes.
Dmaj7      Bm             A
  I wanna be one of the good guys!

Chorus

         G              D          A
Gimme a call when your car's just over the state line
         G            D            A                 G  D  A
And the moon's so important you can see it in the daytime,
                         G  D  A
You can see it in the daytime.
                   G             D          A
I'll give you my heart when the beat-beat-beating is stable
          G       D           A               G  D  A
And the world unfolds like a map on a table,
A                           G  D  A
     Just like a map on a table.
D  G  Em  G  A

Verse 3

D               G
 Blazing flames, and Biblical names,
        Em
Little kids on the lawn with their sunglasses on
           G
And their answers always come out the same.
D                   G
 You waste your time and you kill your mind,
         Em
But the world looks best with Harpoons in your chest
     G                        A
And staggering across the assembly line.

Pre-Chorus 2

    Bm      A              G
My heart's filled with guitar notes,
    Bm      A          G
My mind is covered in bar codes.
      Bm          A           G
It's tough to describe the phenomenal vibe, sister,
Dmaj7               Bm
We're just going to rock shows,
Dmaj7           Bm
 Just going to rock shows.
Dmaj7  Bm                       A
 Can't figure it out. Only the moon knows!

Chorus

         G              D          A
Gimme a call when your car's just over the state line
         G            D            A                 G  D  A
And the moon's so important you can see it in the daytime,
                         G  D  A
You can see it in the daytime.
                   G             D          A
I'll give you my heart when the beat-beat-beating is stable
          G       D           A               G  D  A
And the world unfolds like a map on a table,
A                           G  D  A
     Just like a map on a table.
