[Verse]
I Dsat outside one Gafternoon in an Aold lawn chair
And I Dwatched the sun set Goff for business Awest somewhere
While thBme sky turned waterGcolor pink and Dgold and bAlue
And the Bmstars all showed up Gone by one and we Dwaited for the Amoon
And I Bmthought 'bout you and I Gwondered why Dit took so long to Gsay goodbye
You Dshined so bright you Gblinded me and Dleft me so I Gcouldn't see
[Chorus]
I was the Dmoon Gchasing the Asun
There was Dnever a Emprayer of ever Gcatching Aup
No matter Dhow Gfast I would Arun
Like the Bmmoon Gchasing the Asun
Just like the Dmoon Gchasing the Asun
[Interlude]
D  G  A
[Verse]
  DThe crickets called and the Gmoon peeked out to the Aeastern sky
DThey both start up aGbout this time Aeach night
And an Bmevening breeze stopped Gby and broDught some sweet reAlief
BmIn the silver light I fGinally let go Dof the Aheat
and I Bmthought 'bout you and I Gwondered why Dit took so long to Gsay goodbye
You Bmshined so bright you Gblinded me and lDeft me so I Gcouldn't see
[Chorus]
I was the Dmoon Gchasing the Asun
There was Dnever a Emprayer of ever Gcatching Aup
No matter Dhow Gfast I would Arun
Like the Bmmoon Gchasing the Asun
Just like the Dmoon Gchasing the Asun

[Intro]

D G A

[Verse]

D G A

I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair

D G A

And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere

Bm G D A

While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold and blue

Bm G D A

And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon

Bm G D G

And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye

D G D G

You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see

[Chorus]

D G A

I was the moon chasing the sun

D Em G A

There was never a prayer of ever catching up

D G A

No matter how fast I would run

Bm G A

Like the moon chasing the sun

D G A

Just like the moon chasing the sun

[Interlude]

D G A

[Verse]

D G A

The crickets called and the moon peeked out to the eastern sky

D G A

They both start up about this time each night

Bm G D A

And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief

Bm G D A

In the silver light I finally let go of the heat

Bm G D G

and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye

Bm G D G

You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see

[Chorus]

D G A

I was the moon chasing the sun

D Em G A

There was never a prayer of ever catching up

D G A

No matter how fast I would run

Bm G A

Like the moon chasing the sun

D G A

Just like the moon chasing the sun

[Outro]

D G A

D Em G A

D G A

Bm G A
