Car Seat Headrest – The Moon (Guitar)

        E
I drove up to the city at night

                A
And found the place where you grew up

                    E
And then where you stayed

                                         A
And then we walked around and stayed up late

                                    E
Under city lights; and I spent the night

                                        A
Next to you in the house where you grew up

                                E
Next to you I miraculously woke up

                                  A
In your parents' house I lied in bed with you

       C#m     B     A
I went out to feel alone there

       C#m      B       A
I went back to wipe it clean

            C#m              B                A
I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams

            G#m
And we went all the way up to the small town

           A                                                  G#m
Where I'm from; with foggy air and the wind and the mountain tops

                                     A
And we clung to rocks and we looked off

                                            E
You held my hand, you almost got to start feeling me

                             A
I finally felt like I was breathing free

            B                                               A
And under swaying trees we fell asleep and we had the same dream

                                                 B
The stars were bright, we dream the same every night

                                A
On my island home I spent some time with you

       C#m      B     A
I went back to feel alone there

       C#m        B     A
I went back there by myself

         C#m         B              A
And gave up on everything that we'd felt

              E
We found a precious place in the sand

                   A
Right out in the wind, and we lied under a blanket

                        E
And heard the furious sound

                   A
Two bodies on the earth

                                         E          A
It was intense just getting to be there next to you

                        E
And you were trying to get me then

                   A
And I was happy to let you in

       C#m       B        A
I went back and wished I hadn't

       C#m      B        A
I went back and felt regret

               E                 A
I went to the beach and I stared west

           E
And every night when the sun went down

                      A
In the town where we live, the empty streets were lit up

               E
By reflective light from a distant sun

                        A
Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock

                     E
We just lied on the roof and watched

A
Ooooohhhhhh

    E
The moon, the moon, the blue light of the moon

           A                              E
We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful

                  A
Like the moon my chest was full

                 E
Because we both knew we're just floating in space

             A                                                      E
Over molten rock, and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft

                                        A
There's nothing left except certain death

                                                E   A
And that was comforting at night out under the moon

       C#m       B         A    B
I went out last night to forget that

       C#m       B          A
I went out and stared it down

        C#m       B           A
But the moon just stared back at me

           C#m            B               A
And in its light I saw my two feet on the ground
