The Moon Will Sing chords by The Crane Wives

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C#m


Verse 1:
C#m
Tell me once again
A             E
I could have been anyone, anyone else
C#m         A     E
Before you made the choice for me
C#m
My feet knew the path
A         E
We walked in the dark, in the dark
C#m
I never gave a single thought
A         E
To where it might lead

Verse 2:
C#m
All those empty rooms
A          E
We could have been anywhere, anywhere else
C#m            A   E
Instead I made a bed with apathy
C#m
My heart knew the weight
A         E
Ten years worth of dust and neglect
C#m
We made our peace with weariness
  A   E
And let it be


Pre-Chorus:
C#m
The moon will sing a song for me
 B         A
I loved you like the sun
C#m
Bore the shadows that you made
 B         A
With no light of my own

Chorus:
C#m          A        E
I shine only with the light you gave me
C#m          A        E
I shine only with the light you gave me

Verse 3:
C#m
Name your courage now
A          E
We could have had anything, anything else
C#m               A    E
Instead you hoarded all that’s left of me
C#m
Swallowing your doubt
A              E
Like swords to the pit of my belly
C#m               A     E
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me


Pre-Chorus:
C#m
The moon will sing a song for me
 B         A
I loved you like the sun
C#m
Bore the shadows that you made
 B         A
With no light of my own

Chorus:
C#m          A        E
I shine only with the light you gave me
C#m          A        E
I shine only with the light you gave me
C#m          A        E
I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone)
C#m          A        E
I shine only with the light you gave me (I could have been anyone, anyone)
