[C] [G]
[C] [G]
[F] [G]
[F] [G]
[C] I pictured [G] a rainbow,
[C] [G] you held it in your [F] hands, [G] had flashes,
[F] [G] but you saw the plan.
[C] I wandered out [G] in the world for [C] years, while [G] you just stayed [F] in your room.
I saw [G] the present, [F]
you saw the whole [C] of the moon.
The whole [F] of the moon.
[C] [G]
[C] Turnstiles with a wind at your heels, you stretch for the stars and you know how it [F] feels.
To reach too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole [C] of the moon.
I was grounded while you filled the [F] skies, I was dumbfounded by truth.
You cut too late, [C] I saw a rain-dirty valley.
You saw a [F] brigadoon, I saw the present, you saw the [C] whole of the moon.
[G]
[F] [G]
[F] [G]
[Dm] [C] I spoke about [G] wings,
[Am] [G] you just flew, [F] I guessed and I [C] tried.
[Dm] [Em] You just [C] knew, I sighed, but you
[Dm] [F] swooned.
I saw the present, you saw the whole [C] of the moon.
The whole of the [F] moon.
[G] [C]
Torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels, you climbed on the ladder and you know
how it feels to [F] get too high, too [G] far, [F] too soon, you saw the whole of [C] the moon.
The whole [F] of the moon.
[C] Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and theaters, trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans
full of tears, [F] flags, rags, ferryboats, cemeteries and scars, every precious dream and vision
underneath the stars, yes, [C] you climbed on the ladder.
With a wind in your sails, you came like a comet, blazing [G] your [F] trail, too high, too far,
too soon, [C] you saw the [Dm] whole [C] of the moon.
Did you see that?
[Dm] [C]
