 Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shi-ning down on me.

 Heard that tune, and now I'm pining, ho-ney, can't you see?
[Chorus 1]
Am          Em     F         C             Am        Em        F
 'Cos every time I hear that melody, well, something breaks in-side.

C                   Dm7  F         C        F     Em   Dm7  G    C
 And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back, the tide.

 Never had, no desti-nation, could not get a-cross.

 You be-came, my inspi-ration, oh, but what a cost.

 Now I'm smoking, ciga-rettes, and I, strive for puri-ty.

C      Dm7  F              C         F  Em D7    G
 And I slip, just like the stars, in-to ob-scuri-ty.

 And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I,    can see..
