Nightclothes

   Am    G        C
We crept from the room
    Am  G     C                F
The moonlight spilled down the hall
      Am G         C
And I tiptoed with you
        Am              G
Then we climbed out the window
    Am    G      C
And there in the yard
    Am   G       C              
Our nightclothes blowing in the 
F
breeze
        Am     G         C
And you looked up at the sky
             Am            G
And said the moon would be ours

F            C                 G
And all this time I hear those 
                       F
words like bombs in the distance
                C                
And oh my mind, I can still smell 
     G           F
the rain in the air
                C
But time's gone by
                      G          
And I'm not the kid I was on that 
     F
evening
              C
And somewhere inside
                 G                 
I hope you still see me just the 
        F
way I was before I walked away

Am  G       C
Mud on your dress
Am    G             C           
Blood stains on the knees of my 
F
pants
    Am         G             C
And we went in search of the moon
           Am            G        
'cause you said that you knew 
     C            F
where it slept in the day
      Am       G      C
So we gathered up our tools:
  Am    G               C        
A sling-shot in case it ran for 
   F
the sky
      Am      G         C
And a blanket from your room, the 
one with no holes
      Am            G       C    
So we could drag it all the way 
    F
back home

F                           Am
And you said when we got it back
   C
We would cut it in two
F                       
And we'd wear the hide so 
  Am
magnificent
         G
And then I could control tides with 
you

F           C                     
And I still hear the way that you 
G
laughed
                    F
When you found I believed you
                  C                
And I could still feel you pull on 
   G
my arm
                F
When I was too afraid to go
             C                 G  
And all this time I hear those 
                        F
words like bombs in the distance
               C                   
And my, oh my, I can still smell 
  G           F
the dirt on our hands
            C
Cause in my head
              G                 
You're still alive, you're still 
  F
alive
                       C
And I know that it's a lie
               G                F
But it's one I like, it's one I like
