	  		Intro Dm  F7M  G  Dm  

Dm                 F7M 
Well, I used to wake and run with the moon 
G                Dm 
I lived like a rake and a young man 
Dm             F7M 
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds 
G                  Dm 
My laughter the devil would frighten 

F7M          G     C      Dm 
The sun she would come and beat me back down 
C          G         Dm 
But every cruel day had it's nightfall 
F7M         G        C      Dm 
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars 
C       G       Dm 
Full of fire and forgetful 

Dm                 F7M 
Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean 
G              Dm 
And outrage my joyful companion 
Dm               F7M 
And whisperin' women how sweet did they seem 
G              Dm 
Kneelin' for me to command them 

F7M           G       C     Dm 
And time was like water but I was the sea 
C       G           Dm 
I wouldn't have noticed it passin' 
F7M          G       C        Dm 
Except for the turnin' of night into day 
C             G       Dm 
And the turnin' of day into cursin' 

Dm             F7M 
They look at me now, don't think I don't know 
G               Dm 
What all your eyes are sayin' 
Dm                 F7M 
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies? 
G                             Dm 
They're just tricks that his brains been playin' 

F7M       G    C       Dm 
A lover of women he can't hardly stand 
  C      G          Dm 
He trembles, he's bent and he's broken 
F7M          G        C      Dm 
I've fallen it's true but I say to you 
C        G            Dm 
"Hold your tongues until after I've spoken" 

Dm                      F7M 
I was takin' by pride in the pleasure I'd known 
    G             Dm 
I laughed and said I'd be forgiven 
Dm                      F7M 
But my laughter turned around, eyes blazing and 
        G        Dm 
Said, "Friend, we're holdin' a wedding" 

F7M       G        C       Dm 
I buried my face but it spoke once again 
C        G        Dm 
Night to the day we're a bindin' 
F7M     G         C         Dm 
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin 
C       G        Dm 
And even the moonlight is blinding 
F7M        G      C         Dm 
Now the dark air's like fire on my skin 
C       G        Dm 
And even the moonlight is blinding
