I spend the night… she’ll be there….
Em A7
I spend the night in a chair thinking
Dm7 G
she’ll be there but she never comes
Em A7
And then I wake up and wipe the Sleep from my eyes
Dm7 G
and I rise to face another day
Em A7 Dm7 G
Without her.

We burst the pretty…. To the moon…. Beautiful thing….
D DMaj7
We burst the pretty balloon
D7 G7
It took us to the moon such a beautiful thing
Em A7
But it’s ended now and it sounds like a lie
Dm7 G
If I say I’d rather die than live
Em A7 Dm7 G
Without her.
