Pale Blue Moon

 
              E                      A           E 
Some days are hard to decipher. They hurry along inside 
        A             E                  G#m 
or they hover near the back door.Like the last few things we've tried. 
        E 
Once forgiven, once forgotten. 
   A               E 
We come and go too soon 
     A               E       A        C#m        B 
So won't you meet me here beneath the pale blue moon 
 

 
A     B      E        A      B    C#m 
Time marches on while love stands still. 
A             E            B 
   I won't pretend to understand. 
A B       E       A       B           C#m 
I never knew that I could change your will 
   A              E           B 
by simply holding out my open hand. 
 

 
     E                             A               E 
They say it's never easy when your heart is on the line. 
    A                    E         G#m             B 
You want to think you'll wind up   further on this time 
        E 
with no reason not to question or a 
A                    E 
hope that's gone too soon 
     A                   E        A        C#m        B 
that leaves us lingring here  beneath the pale blue  moon 
 

 
A     B      E        A      B    C#m 
Time marches on while love stands still. 
A             E            B 
   I won't pretend to understand. 
A B       E       A       B           C#m 
I never knew that I could change your will 
   A              E           B 
by simply holding out my open hand.

E                             A                E 
Can we bridge the distance of who we both must be 
    A                E         G#m 
and find some common ground to ease this misery? 
     E 
Once forgiven, once forgotten. 
    A             E 
We fall apart too soon. 
    A                E        A        C#m        B 
So won't you meet me here? Beneath the pale blue moon. (Blue moon.)
