Stars And The Moon

[D]I met a man without a [Am]dollar to his name
who had no [C]traits of any value but his [D]smile
[D]I met a man who had no [Am]yearn or claim to fame
who was co[C]ntent to let life pass him for a [D]while
[Am]and I was sure that [Em]all I ever wanted
was a [C]life like the movie stars [Am]led
and he [Em]kissed me right here, and he [A]said

"I'll give you [D]stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
and a [G]promise I'll never go.
I'll give you [D]hope to bring out all the life inside you
and the [G]strength that will help you grow.
I'll give you [D]truth and a future that's twenty times better
than [G]any Hollywood [A]plot."
And I thought, [A]'You know, I'd rather have a [D]yacht.'

[D]I met a man who lived his [Am]life out on the road
who left a [C]wife and kids in Portland on a [D]whim
[D]I met a man whose fire and [Am]passion always showed
who asked if [C]I could spare a week to ride with [D]him
[Am]but I was sure that all I'd ever [Em]wanted
was a [C]life that was scripted and [Am]planned
And he [Em]said, "But you don't [A]understand...

I'll give you [D]stars and the moon and the open highway
and a [G]river beneath your feet.
I'll give you [D]days full of dreams if you travel my way
and a [G]summer you can't repeat.
I'll give you [D]nights full of passion and days of adventure,
No s[G]trings, just warm summer [A]rain."
And I thought, '[A]You know, I'd rather have [D]champagne.'

[D]I met a man who had a [Am]fortune in the bank
who had [C]retired at age thirty, set for [D]life.
[D]I met a man and didn't [Am]know which stars to thank,
and then he [C]asked one day if I would be his [D]wife.
[Am]And I looked up, and all I could [Em]think of
was the [C]life I had dreamt I would [Am]live.
And I said to [Em]him, 'What will you [A]give?'

"I'll give you [D]cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay,
and a [G]fur and a diamond ring.
And we'll be [D]married in Spain on my yacht today
and we'll [G]honeymoon in Beijing.
And you'll meet [D]stars at the parties I throw at my villas
in [G]Nice and Paris in [A]June."

and I thought, [A]"Okay."
And I took a [C]breath,
and I got my [A]yacht,
and the years went [C]by,
and it never [Am]changed,
and it never [Em]grew,
and I never [Am]dreamed...
And I woke one [Em]day,
and I looked [C]around,
and I thought, '[A]My God....
I'll never have the [D]moon.'
