Verse:
          Bm                       
Well, the moon I know, in the town 
D          Bm                   D
I live, is steady as she waits.
   Bm                         D   
It seems as though she yearns for 
       F#m            D
me and calls me by my name.
    Bm                  D      Bm
Sometimes she says come to me, 
                       D
kiss me while it's late.
    Bm                         D  
And other nights she's just 
           F#m    G
hanging with the stars.


Bridge:
    Bm                         Em7
And I've seen her waiting from all 
her mistakes
    G                              
And what if he never comes when you
 A
 call?


Chorus:
      D                       
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's 
   G
alright," she says, "Once upon a 
time I lived a perfect night."
 D                             
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another 
 G                      A         
life," she says, "In a dream of 
           A4
mine from a thousand years ago."

Verse:
Bm                          D    
"Don't look back," I heard a 
      Bm                     D
voice, in velvet I couldn't see.
    Bm                       D 
The pictures then were black and 
                 F#m          
white, and the details were in 
      D
between.
  Bm                  D         
I heard about a woman once, who 
Bm                        D
did everything ever asked of her.
    Bm                         
She died last week and her last 
 D           F#m               
words were,     "it wasn't worth 
   G
it."


Bridge:
    Bm                             
And I've seen her patience through 
Em7
all her mistakes
    G                      A
And   who's gonna save you now?


Chorus:
      D                       
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's 
   G
alright," she says, "Once upon a 
time I lived a perfect night."
 D                             
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another 
 G                      A         
life," she says, "In a dream of 
           A4
mine from a thousand years ago."
      D                       
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's 
   G
alright," she says, "Once upon a 
time I lived a perfect night."
 D                             
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another 
 G                      A         
life," she says, "In a dream of 
           A4
mine from a thousand years ago."

Outro:
D                           
Way back when, when we became 
friends, I was you, you were my 
               G
defense. And quiet was the night.
    D
You showed me that bridge, and it 
brought you home. You told me about 
it and I never let it go,
      G                          
And I guess I might've been doing 
           A4                  
the same. Anyhow, quiet was the 
         Bm Bm G  D  D  D D
night.
