Dogs were barking the moon was black 
                                   F           C 
As we stood there swaying with the dark on our backs 
                                   F        C 
Slipped through your fingers and I held you tight 
                                        F        C 
I could have rocked there slowly in the cold all night 
 

 
   Am       C              Am             C 
My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say 
Am          C              Am               C 
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay 
 

 
                                      F          C 
Danced alone in the streetlight and I sang you a song 
                                    F        C 
Kissed you once last time saying it won't be long 
                            F        C 
Til our arms again would be wrapping around 
                                      F              C 
I didn't know if it was so but I took comfort in the sound 
 

 
   Am       C              Am             C 
My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say 
Am          C              Am               C 
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay

                 F             C 
I stepped slowly ascending the stair 
                                F       C 
Looked back only once and again met you there 
                                     F               C 
Passed my message lik smoke from my mind through my eyes 
                                          F              C 
Watchd it float to you gently watched it float into the night 
 

 
   Am       C              Am             C 
My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say 
Am          C              Am               C 
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay 
    Am       C              Am             C 
Oh, My body was telling you my mouth wouldn't say 
Am          C              Am               C 
Time it was standing but I knew it wouldn't stay
