Moon plays the ocean like a violin 
  
C/F 
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore,  

C/F                            C 
Biggest melody you never heard before. 

                   G 
What if I were the night sky? 
                    
                   C/F  
What if I were the night sky?

It's my lullaby; My lullaby to leave by

If I were the night

Bring you cookies in an old folks' home 

                   G 
Would you be there alone? 
  
         Am 
When the late summer lightning fires off in your arms 

                                  C 
Will I remember to breathe? No, I never will. 

   Am 
If I could convince you that I mean you no harm 

                        C 
Just wanna show you how not to need

If i were the the night sky...  and if i were the night sky 

             C 
Heres my lullaby

My lullaby to leave by

If i were the night

Would you tell me all the stories from when you're young and in your prime 


Would I rock you to sleep 

                                                    C 
Would you tell me all the secrets you don't need to keep 

              G 
Would I still miss you 

              C/F            C 
Oh, would you then have been mine?
