The Moon

        Bm
I drove up to the city at night
                G
And found the place where you grew 
up
                    Bm
And then where you stayed
And then we walked around and stayed
     G
 up late
Under city lights; and I spent the 
 Bm
night
Next to you in the house where you 
     G
grew up
                                Bm
Next to you I miraculously woke up
                                  G
In your parents' house I lied in bed
 with you

[Chorus]
        Bm            G
I went back to feel alone there
        Bm               G
I went back to wipe it clean
             Bm                    
I took the lights and radio towers 
            G
out of my dreams

[Verse 2]
            Bm
And we went all the way up to the 
small town
           G                       
Where I'm from; with foggy air and 
                           Bm
the wind and the mountain tops
And we clung to rocks and we looked 
 G
off
You held my hand, you almost got to 
        Bm
start feeling me
                             G
I finally felt like I was breathing 
free
            Bm                 
And under swaying trees we fell 
                           G
asleep and had the same dream
The stars were bright, we dream the 
             Bm
same every night

                                G
On my island home I spent some time 
with you


[Chorus]
        Bm            G
I went back to feel alone there
        Bm             G
I went back there by myself
         Bm                        
And gave up on everything that we'd
  G
 felt


[Verse 3]
              D
We found a precious place in the 
sand
                   G
Right out in the wind, and we lied 
under a blanket
                        D
And heard the furious sound

The roar of waves, the pounding surf
                   G
Two bodies on the earth
It was intense just getting to be 
       D          G
there next to you
                        D
And you were trying to get me then
                   G
And I was happy to let you in


[Chorus]
        Bm                G
I went back and wished I hadn't
        Bm             G
I went back and felt regret
                Bm              
I went to the beach and I stared 
  G
west


[Verse 4]
       Bm
Every night when the sun went down
                      G
In the town where we live, the empty
 streets were lit up
               Bm
By reflective light from a distant 
sun
                        G
Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
                     Bm
We just lied on the roof and watched
     G
The moon, the moon, the blue light 
of the moon
           Bm                      
We didn't talk and silently we both
        G
 felt powerful
                  Bm             G
Like the moon my chest was full
                 Bm
Because we both knew we're just 
floating in the same space
             G                     
Over molten rock, and we felt safe 
                                Bm
and discovered that our skin is soft
There's nothing left except certain 
  G
death
And that was comforting at night out
            Bm   G
 under the moon


[Chorus]
       Bm                  G
I went out last night to forget that
       Bm                 G
I went out and stared it down
         Bm                   G
But the moon just stared back at me
            Bm                     
And in its light I saw my two feet 
         G
on the ground
