[Intro] Riff x2 [Verse 1] - play Riff
G                       C
I believe that you were born

G             C
during an eclipse

G                    D
and the stars named you moon child

 G        C         G            C
Then you come, you rise into my sky

G                          C                 D
You stepped in front of my sun and it makes the whole world dark
[Chorus]
Em                      G
And you light up the night

C               G
just like the moon

C               G        D             D
Just like the moon you light up the night

    Em            G        C                 G
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

        C           G            D           G (play Riff)
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

G                     G                C
    Laid back and I'm restless in the daytime

       G               C              D
and I'm chased by these shadows oh that's haunting me

G             C    G                         C
and then you come with night time's woolly blanket

        G              C                    D
and you wrap me like a child who's been in the rain too long
[Chorus]
Em                      G
And you light up the night

C               G
just like the moon

C               G        D             D
Just like the moon you light up the night

    Em            G        C                 G
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

        C           G            D           G (play Riff)
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
[Break] Riff x2 [Bridge]
A6*                    Dm
 Oh, I've chased the moon, ya know I've tried

   C                           G
and each time I've tried, each time I've failed

    C                  G
And each time I get so down on myself

    C                   G
and I can't stand this pace of a snail

          C                 G             A6*        Dm
While the rest of the world pales all the night, mm-hmm

        C   G       C    G
Ya know I-I-I, no, I, no I-I-

          C     G        C            G
know that I can probably never be the same
[Break] Em G ] C G ] C G ] x2 D D ] [Chorus]
Em                         G
'Cause you light up the night

C               G
just like the moon

C               G        D             D
Just like the moon you light up the night

    Em            G        C                 G
and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya

        C           G            D           G (play Riff)
but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

G              C
And in the night

G                     C             G
I can feel your lovelight shining bright

C             D
falling down on me like autumn leaves

G              C
And in the night

G                C       G
I can see you shining bright

         C       D
Tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep
[Repeat Verse 3]
G              C
And in the night

G                     C             G
I can feel your lovelight shining bright

C             D
falling down on me like autumn leaves

G              C
And in the night

G               C       G
I can see you shining bright

         C       D
Tell me how am I supposed to fall asleep
