Just Like The Moon

(Capo I)

Intro: C F G G (2x)

C                   F             
I sat outside one afternoon in an 
G
old lawn chair.
C                         F      
And I watched the sun set off for
         G
 business west somewhere.
          Am               F      
While the sky turned watercolor 
        C      G
pink and gold en blue.
          Am                F     
and the stars all showed up one by
             C             G
 one and we waited for the moon.
        Am                   
and I thought 'bout you and I 
    F        C                  F
wondered why it took so long to say 
goodbye
       C                   F      
You shined so bright you blinded 
     C         F
me and left so I couldn't see.

Continues after the ad
          C     F           G
I was the moon chasing the sun.
           C           Dm       F
There was never a prayer of ever 
         G
catching up.
          C    F            G
No matter how fast I would run.
          C    F          G
Like the moon chasing the sun.
              C    F           G
Just like the moon chasing the sun.

The crickets called and the moon 
peeked out of an eastern sky.
They both start up about this time 
each night.
And an evening breeze stopped by and
 brought some sweet relief.
In the silver light I finally let go
 of the heat.


And I thought 'bout you and I 
wondered why.
It took so long for you to say 
goodbye.
     Am                    F      
You shined so bright you blinded 
  C                F
me and left me so I couldn't see.


I was the moon chasing the sun.
There was never a prayer of ever 
catching up.
No matter how fast I would run.
Like the moon chasing the sun.
Just like the moon chasing the sun.
