Verse I
GBefore there ever was a you and me 
The endless void of a dark black sea 
DAnd a gCiant Goyster, the mother of all things 
And Dthe oyster made a pearl 
And Cthe pGearl became the world 
And Dthe world began to turn 
And Cthe Gsun began to burn 
ThAmen one day I met you and I fell in love 
And Cyou broDke my tender heart and so here we are 
Chorus
But thCere was always the moon 
TheDre was alwaCys the moon 
TheDre was alwaCys the moon 
TheDre was alwaGys the moon 
Verse II
GBefore there ever was a you and me 
The slender branch of a gentle tree 
And Da big rCed fruGit that hung low to the ground 
AnDd you picked it out of spite 
And Cyou Gtook a careless bite 
And Dthe world was not the same 
ACnd we alGl know who to blame 
So Amnow when you think of me do you think of when 
TherCe was sDtill a chance but it’s over so here we are

And the tDides Ccame in Gand the tides went out again 
BuDt the water got too high 
AnCd the Gsun began to die 
ADnd I tried to make you stay 
But Cthe Gworld pulled you away 
And noAmw there are darker longer colder nights 
And the sCun has goDne for good and so here we are

But thCere is always the moon 
TheDre is alwayCs the moon 
TheDre is alwayCs the moon 
TheDre is alwayGs the moon
