[Verse 2]
C                               G
There goes the moonlit man
F           C                     G
Got a suitcase in his hand
F
He\’s moving on
C
Down the road
G                                                   Am
Things tend to fall apart starting with his heart
Em/G
He kisses you lightly and he leaves
Am
Leaves your sleeping body

Curled and dreaming around your smile, your smile

They age a lifetime, O\’ Lord

Mama bear holds the remote

Papa bear, he just floats
C
And baby bear, he has gone
G F C G Am Em/G
To the moon in a boat, on a boat
Am
I\’m speaking about love now
Em/G
And how the lights of love go down
Am
You\’re in the back room washing his clothes
Em/G
Love\’s like that, you know, it\’s like a tidal flow
Am                               Em/G                               F
And the past with its fierce undertow won\’t ever let us go
C G F C G Am
Won\’t ever let you go

Em/G
If I could move the night I would
Am
And I would turn the world around if I could
Em/G
There\’s nothing wrong with loving something
Am
You can\’t hold in your hand
Em/G
You\’re sitting on the edge of your bed
Am
Smoking and shaking your head
Em/G
Well there\’s nothing wrong with loving things
F      C      G     F           Am
That cannot even stand

[Verse 5]
Em/G
Well there goes your moony man
Am
With his suitcase in his hand
Em/G
Well every road is lined with animals
Am
That rise from their blood and walk
Em/G
Well the moon won\’t get a wink of sleep
Am
If I stay all night and talk
Em/G
If I stay all night and talk
Am
