[Verse 1]
Dm                 Fmaj7
I used to wake and run with the moon
G              G7   G6    Dm
I lived like a rake and a young man
Dm                       Fmaj7
I covered my lovers with flowers and
 wounds
   G              G7  G6    Dm
my laughter the devil would frighten


[Chorus]
    Fmaj7         G        C     
The sun she would come and beat 
       Dm
me back down
    C                      
but every cruel day had its 
 Dm
nightfall
    Fmaj7       G          C     
I'd welcome the stars with wine 
   Dm
and guitars
C                   Dm
full of fire and forgetful


[Verse 2]
Dm                   Fmaj7
My body was sharp my dark hair clean
    G             G7  G6  Dm
and outrage my joyful companion
Dm                   Fmaj7
whisperin' women how sweet did they 
seem

kneelin' for me to command them


[Chorus]
    Fmaj7         G         C    
And time was like water but I was
     Dm
 the sea
   C                        Dm
I woulden't have noticed it passin'
Fmaj7          G          C     
except for the turnin' of night 
     Dm
into day
        C                   Dm
and the turnin' of day into cursin


[Verse 3]
Dm                            
You look at me now, and don't think 
Fmaj7
I don't know
     G        G7   G6    Dm
what all your eyes are a sayin'
Dm                               
Does he want us to believe these 
Fmaj7
ravings and lies
             G               G7   
they're just tricks that his 
  G6     Dm
brains been a playin'?


[Chorus]
  Fmaj7    G        C            
A lover of women he can't hardly 
Dm
stand
   C                          
he trembles he's bent and he's 
 Dm
broken
     Fmaj7       G        C       
I've fallen it's true but I say to
 Dm
 you
          C                        
hold your tongues until after I've 
Dm
spoken


[Verse 4]
      Dm                    
I was takin' my pride in the 
 Fmaj7
pleasures I'd known
  G                   G7  
I laughed and thought I'd be 
G6     Dm
forgiven
       Dm                         
but my laughter turned 'round eyes
Fmaj7
 blazing and
     G             G7     G6 Dm
said friend, we're holdin' a wedding


[Chorus]
  Fmaj7     G           C         
I buried my face but it spoke once
 Dm
 again
    C                        Dm
the night to the day we're a bindin'
    Fmaj7        G           C   
and now the dark air is like fire
       Dm
 on my skin
    C                     Dm
and even the moonlight is blinding
    Fmaj7        G           C   
and now the dark air is like fire
       Dm
 on my skin
    C                     Dm*
and even the moonlight is blinding
