Just Like The Moon

[G]  I sat outside one [C]afternoon in an o[D]ld lawn ch[D]air
And I w[G]atched the sun set o[C]ff for business[D] west somewhe[D]re
And the sk[Em]y turned water [C]color pink and[G] gold and bl[D]ue
And the [Em]stars all showed up o[C]ne by one and we w[G]aited for the m[D]oon

And I th[C]ought about [G/B]you and I w[C]ondered wh[G/B]y I
[C]  Took so [G/B]long to [Am]say goodb[Am]ye
Oh you [C]shined so [G/B]bright you bl[C]inded m[G/B]e
[C]  And left me [G/B]so I   [Am]  couldn't se[Am]e

That I was the[C]  moon chas[G]ing the sun   [D]        [D]
There was [Em]never a [C]prayer of ever[G] catching u[D]p
No matter[C] how    fast[G] I would run   [D]        [D]
Like the [C]moon[G] chasing[D] the su[D]n
Just like the [C]moon[G] chasing[D] the su[D]n

[G]  [C]  [D]  [D]    [G]  [C]  [D]  [D]
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of the eastern sky
They both start up about this time each night
And the evening breeze dropped by and brought some sweet relief
And in the silver light I finally let go of the heat

And I thought about you and I wondered why
I took so long to say goodbye
Oh you shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldn't see

That I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon chasing the sun
Just like the moon chasing the sun
