[Intro]
 D5   Bm7(x2)
[Verse]
The night hangs D5blue on the black sea
And the wind whips through your hBm7air
I’ve been gD5one for a lifetime
And I followed your cries hBm7ere
And those cD5ries sent me wandering
And I brought what of the wBm7orld that I could carry back for you
Just you and D5I on the shoreline
And the stars that shimmer Bm7on and on. I’m lost without you near me
Show me to the moonG  
[Chorus]
EmCause I don’t think that I’d surD/Bvive withAout you anywayG  
Show me to the mDoon so I can kAeep my ills at bayG  
Or fade into her lDight and wander Aon eternallyG  
Show me to the moonG  
[Interlude]
 D   D/B(x2)
[Verse]
I always sD5wore I was trying
And I ruined perfect mBm7oments like the times where we would stay
Awake all nD5ight between bed sheets
And I loved you like the sBm7pring and I was reaching for the sun
You repD5lied with a smile
And an unrequiting sBm7tare that sent me off through lonely weather
I’ll retD5urn in the summer
And fall out the door beBm7fore I hear you say that I’m not welcome
[Interlude]
G A D
[Outro]
D5Then, as if by D/Bbsong, I will Bm7reappear on some quiet winter dawnG  
And you’ll be tDired, so tAired of singing alGong

[Intro]

D5 Bm7

(x2)

[Verse]

The night hangs blue on the black sea

Bm7

And the wind whips through your hair

I’ve been gone for a lifetime

Bm7

And I followed your cries here

And those cries sent me wandering

Bm7

And I brought what of the world that I could carry back for you

Just you and I on the shoreline

Bm7

And the stars that shimmer on and on. I’m lost without you near me

Show me to the moon

[Chorus]

Em D/B A G

Cause I don’t think that I’d survive without you anyway

D A G

Show me to the moon so I can keep my ills at bay

D A G

Or fade into her light and wander on eternally

Show me to the moon

[Interlude]

D D/B

(x2)

[Verse]

I always swore I was trying

Bm7

And I ruined perfect moments like the times where we would stay

Awake all night between bed sheets

Bm7

And I loved you like the spring and I was reaching for the sun

You replied with a smile

Bm7

And an unrequiting stare that sent me off through lonely weather

I’ll return in the summer

Bm7

And fall out the door before I hear you say that I’m not welcome

[Interlude]

G A D

[Outro]

D5 D/Bb Bm7 G

Then, as if by song, I will reappear on some quiet winter dawn

D A G

And you’ll be tired, so tired of singing along
