[Intro]
C  F  C
[Verse 1]
CI've been thinking myself sick
FWaiting for the plot to thCicken
CRolling around for Fmiles unnumbered
GUnencumbered by style
COh, what a time now to show up
FWay too late to gCrow up
CWay too late to taFke the dive
GSo I'll shoot the sky instead
[Chorus]
CStay up late, shoot the moon
FDo the things we used to Cdo
When we was just young and anxious
GHeinous with happiness
CWe was born to be great
Or just bForn a little too laCte
For the rock of ages, ain't it strange
Just my Gage and my best gCuess
[Verse 2]
CJack, he left the monastery
FWent on off to WooCdstock
Took his younger siFster
GNow she plays guitar
CHe went on to raise three daughters
FI fell in love with the youCngest
We just liFsten to his stCories
GGet our daily bread
[Chorus]
Stay up Clate, shoot the moon
FDo the things he used to Cdo
When he was just young and anxious
GHeinous with happiness
CHe was born in a long line
Or just bForn right on tCime
For the rock of ages, ain't it strange
Just his Gage and his best Cguess
[Bridge]
FHow could I kCnow
FWhere I may gCo
GWhen hardly do I know from where I come?
FBut if this America is any inCdication
FI was born into one great, big vaCcation
FA great house, on a great lCake,
FAt a great rate I can't (can?) Gafford
[Chorus]
CSo I stay up late, I shoot the moon
I do the thiFngs I have to dCo
To feel my nFature, to eGase this collective pain
AnCd if one day I drown
I do Fpray you lay Cme down
And say, he was soFund, he was stCrong
GOne good link upon the chain
[Outro]
Then you stay up lCate, you shoot the moon
Do the Fthings you have to Cdo
To feel your naFture
GTo feel some connectedness
You were bCorn not to lose
Or just bForn a little too sCoon
For the rock of ages, ain't it strange
Just your aGge and your best guCess
C   F  C

[Intro]

C F C

[Verse 1]

I've been thinking myself sick

F C

Waiting for the plot to thicken

C F

Rolling around for miles unnumbered

Unencumbered by style

Oh, what a time now to show up

F C

Way too late to grow up

C F

Way too late to take the dive

So I'll shoot the sky instead

[Chorus]

Stay up late, shoot the moon

F C

Do the things we used to do

When we was just young and anxious

Heinous with happiness

We was born to be great

F C

Or just born a little too late

For the rock of ages, ain't it strange

G C

Just my age and my best guess

[Verse 2]

Jack, he left the monastery

F C

Went on off to Woodstock

Took his younger sister

Now she plays guitar

He went on to raise three daughters

F C

I fell in love with the youngest

F C

We just listen to his stories

Get our daily bread

[Chorus]

Stay up late, shoot the moon

F C

Do the things he used to do

When he was just young and anxious

Heinous with happiness

He was born in a long line

F C

Or just born right on time

For the rock of ages, ain't it strange

G C

Just his age and his best guess

[Bridge]

F C

How could I know

F C

Where I may go

When hardly do I know from where I come?

F C

But if this America is any indication

F C

I was born into one great, big vacation

F C

A great house, on a great lake,

F G

At a great rate I can't (can?) afford

[Chorus]

So I stay up late, I shoot the moon

F C

I do the things I have to do

F G

To feel my nature, to ease this collective pain

And if one day I drown

F C

I do pray you lay me down

F C

And say, he was sound, he was strong

One good link upon the chain

[Outro]

Then you stay up late, you shoot the moon

F C

Do the things you have to do

To feel your nature

To feel some connectedness

You were born not to lose

F C

Or just born a little too soon

For the rock of ages, ain't it strange

G C

Just your age and your best guess

C F C
