[Intro] G G C G F G F G [Verse]
C             G  
I pictured a rainbow

C    C  
you held in your hands

F      G  
I had flashes

F   G  
but you saw then plan

C                     G   
I wondered out in the world for years

C     G                        F
while you just stayed in your room

               G    F  
I saw the crescent

G                         C
you saw the whole of the moon!

G                F    C  
The whole of the moon!
[Verse]
         C
You were there at the turnstiles

         G  
with the wind at your heels

    C
You stretched for the stars

        G  
and you know how it feels to reach 

F         G        F      
too high, too far, too soon,

G                        C 
you saw the whole of the moon!
[Verse]
        G  
I was grounded

C     G    
while you filled the skies

F           G               F
I was dumbfounded by truths

G  
you cut through lies

C                     G      C
I saw the rain-dirty valley

G  
you saw Brigadoon

F              G    F
I saw the crescent

G                        C 
you saw the whole of the moon!
[Interlude] C G C G F G F G [Bridge]
C               G    Am
I spoke about wings

G6
you just flew

  F                           C    Dm
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried

C  
you just knew

  C      G  
I sighed

C   G     
but you swooned!

  F               G    F
I saw the crescent

G                        C  
you saw the whole of the moon!

G                 F    G  
The whole of the moon!
[Verse]
        C 
With a torch in your pocket

        G  
and the wind at your heels

     C
You climbed on the ladder

        G  
and you know how it feels to reach

F         G        F  
too high, too far, too soon,

G                        C
you saw the whole of the moon!

G                F
The whole of the moon!

      G  
Hey, yeah!
[Verse]
C
Unicorns and cannonballs,

G  
palaces and piers,

C
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,

     G  
wide oceans full of tears,

F
Flag, rags, ferry boats,

G  
scimitars and scarves,

F
Every precious dream and vision

G  
underneath the stars

          C
Yes, you climbed on the ladder

         G   
with the wind in your sails

     C
You came like a comet

G  
blazing your trail

F         G        F  
Too high, too far, too soon,

G                        C     G  
you saw the whole of the moon!
