EbThere's a smog moon, in the amber sky, wavering and burning like a golden lie.
EbI fell so G5far, I didn't think I'd Abmake it Bbback
EbWe are all made, as an afterthought,
Destined to believe that we are what we are not
EbI'm afrG5aid, but I don't need to tell Abyou Bbthat
Chorus:
EbThere's a smog moon coming I can always feel it
BbThe cartoon trees cannot conceal it

EbThere's a lost man, with a bitter soul, Only for a moment,
Did life make him whole
EbAnd while he G5was, he thought he was inAbvinciBbble
