Intro
G Em G Em
Verse 1
Guess I never thGought again I'd hear your voiceC  
When you packed your Gbags and pulled out of DetroitC  
Yeah the snow fallGs alone get hard to bearC  
Knowin' you're dGown south with sunshine on your hairC  
Sent a postcGard from Graceland when you passed throughC  
Read even tGhough we lost, I still love youC  
I keGep it like a locket on a chainC  
I tGell myself that I've moved on but only half the wayD  
Chorus
And every Gtime I close my eyes
You're dancin' Dneathn the full moonlightBm  
Your faded Emjeans across the hood
My arms wCrapped 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser thGan I was that day
DNow I'd have some words to sayBm  
EmOnes that just might make you stay with meC  
That’s on me, Dwhen I close my eyesG  
Em
Verse 2
LaGtely I've been talkin' to God againC  
And a string oGf things, I didn't do back thenC  
No doubt GI'm better off havin' had youC  
Yeah you taught me hGow to love
Taught me how to loDse it too
Chorus
And every Gtime I close my eyes
You're dancin' Dneathn the full moonlightBm  
Your faded Emjeans across the hood
My arms wCrapped 'round you tight and good
