Just like the moon

Ilse DeLange - Just like the moon


Capo on 1st fret
[C] [F] [G]
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair

[C] [F] [G]
and I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere

[Am] [F] [C] [G]
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold en blue

[Am] [F] [C] [G]
and the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon

[Am] [F] [C] [F]
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye

[C] [F] [C] [F]
You shined so bright you blinded me and left so I couldn't see.



Chorus:


[C] [F] [G]
I was the moon chasing the sun

[C] [Dm] [F] [G]
there was never a prayer of ever catching up

[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G]
No matter how fast I would run like the moon chasing the sun

[C] [F] [G]
Just like the moon chasing the sun



[C] [F] [G]
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of an eastern sky

[C] [F] [G]
They both start up about this time each night

[Am] [F] [C] [G]
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief

[Am] [F] [C] [G]
in the silver light I finally let go of the heat

[Am] [F]
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why

[C] [F]
it took so long for you to say goodbye

[Am] [F] [C] [F]
you shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
