Matraca Berg Lying to the Moon by Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset
Am Em C Am Em D
D G D
I watch the sun going down
Em G
While I stand on sacred ground.
D G D
Where once the night found us.
Em C
In the twilight of our love.
Am C D
You said you'd meet me here.
Em
But I'm all alone.
Am C D
You sounded so sincere.
G
Well did you lead me on.
D G C G
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
D G C
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
D G C
I even told the night that you were true.
Am Bm C
And you would be here soon.
Am D G G D Em C
And now I'm lying to the moon.
C G D
And so the night takes me in.
Em G
Like a sympathetic friend.
D G D
And sends away the trees.
Em C
And the willow weeps for me.
Am C D
The shadows fool my eyes.
Em
And I think I see you.
Am C D
Then they start to cry.
G
Don't you know that they believed you
D G C G
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
D G C
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
D G C
I even told the night that you were true.
Am Bm C
And you would be here soon.
Am D Am Em C Am Em D G
And now I'm lying to the moon.
