DGADGADGA
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair
DGA
And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere
BmGDA
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold and blue
BmGDA
And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon
BmGDG
And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
DGDG
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
DGA
I was the moon chasing the sun
DEmGA
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
DGA
No matter how fast I would run
BmGA
Like the moon chasing the sun
DGA
Just like the moon chasing the sun
DGA
The crickets called and the moon peeked out to the eastern sky
DGA
They both start up about this time each night
BmGDA
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief
BmGDA
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat
BmGDG
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
BmGDG
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
DGA
I was the moon chasing the sun
DEmGA
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
DGA
No matter how fast I would run
BmGA
Like the moon chasing the sun
DGA
Just like the moon chasing the sun
