Am G Am Em Dm F G Am
[Verse 1]
AmWe left the Gothers
In the Amfading Emlight
DmWalked up that oFld road
On a Gwarm summer Amnight
You Amsaid let's go Ghigher
There's a Amgood chance that Emsoon
DmWe'll get to Fsee the Grising Ammoon
[Verse 2]
AmWhen we reached the Gquarry
We could Amfeel the Embreeze
We Dmstood there a Fmoment
GSearching the Amtrees
Then Amsuddenly, we Gsaw it
That Ambig red Emglow
DmI took your Fhand
And you Gdidn't let Amgo
[Chorus]
Oh  Ammy poor heart jumped oGut of my chest
Yeah Dmmy poor Emheart jumped Fright out of my cAmhest
And Ammy poor heart jumped oGut of my chest
Yeah Dmmy poor Emheart jumped right oFut of my cAmhest
[Verse 3]
Well the Ammoon changed its Gcolour
As it Amrose in the Emsky
And we Dmchanged each Fother
Under Gheaven's bright Ameye
I might Amlive to a Ghundred
I Ammight die Emsoon
But I'll Dmnever forFget that Grising Ammoon
[Chorus]
Oh  Ammy poor heart jumped oGut of my chest
Yeah Dmmy poor Emheart jumped Fright out of my cAmhest
And Ammy poor heart jumped oGut of my chest
Yeah Dmmy poor Emheart jumped right oFut of my cAmhest

Now you've Dmgone
And left me staring at the Amrising moon
Oh, my heartbeats Dmstrong
Sometimes I wish it would Estop
But it keeps pumpin on!

AmMy whole heart jumped Gout of my chest
DmMy whole Emheart jumped right Fout of my Amchest
AmMy whole heart jumped Gout of my chest
DmMy whole Emheart jumped right Fout of my Amchest
