We crept from the room 
      Am    G     C            F 
The moonlight spilled down the hall 
         Am G         C 
And I tiptoed with you 
            Am            G               (C) 
Then we climbed out the window 
      Am   G       C 
And there in the yard 
       Am    G      C              F 
Our nightclothes blowing in the breeze 
          Am    G         C 
And you looked up at the sky 
              Am            G           (C) 
And said the moon would be ours 

     F         C                 G                        F 
And all this time I hear those words like bombs in the distance 
     F      C                G                     F 
And oh my mind, I can still smell the rain in the air 
  But time's gone by 
   And I'm not the kid I was on that evening 
      F            C 
  And somewhere inside 
               G                      F 
  I hope you still see me just the way I was before I walked away

Mud on your dress 
Blood stains on the knees of my pants 
And we went in search of the moon 
'cause you said that you knew where it slept in the day 
So we gathered up our tools: 
A sling-shot in case it ran for the sky 
And a blanket from your room, the one with no holes 
So we could drag it all the way back home 

And you said when we got it back 
We would cut it in two 
And we'd wear the hide so magnificent 
And then I could control time for you 
And I still hear the way that you laughed 
When you found I believed you 
And I could still feel you pull on my arm 
When I was too afraid to go 

And all this time I hear those words like bombs in the distance 
And my, oh my, I can still smell the dirt on our hands 

'cause in my head 
You're still alive, you're still alive 
And I know that it's a lie 
But it's one I like, it's one I like
