Verse 1
0:10)
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I've be-come
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon to-night
Verse 2
0:40)
Last night I dreamt I had for-got-ten my name
'Cause I had sold my soul
but awoke just the same
I'm so lonely
I wish I was the moon to-night

VERSES 3 & 4 (1:25) Same chords as VERSE 1
God blessed me, I'm a free man
With no place free to go
I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight
Bridge
2:16)
How will you know if you found me at last?
'Cause I'll be the one, be the one,
be the one with my heart in my lap
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon to-night
Instrumental interlude

(3:01)
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon...
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon to-night.
