And I'm gonna do it again.

[Cm] [F] Sound [Ab] [G]
[Eb]
is a wave like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
[Ab] Pushing and pulling from show to show
Biggest melody I never heard before, [Eb] no
What if I were the night sky?
I [Ab] were the night sky
Smile of a [Eb] bottle you burn
What if we hadn't been born at the same time?
What if you were 75?
[Ab]
Would I still visit you?
Bring your cookies in an old [Eb] folks home
Would you be there [Bb] alone?
[Cm] When the late summer lightning fires off in your arms
Will I remember to breathe?
No
[Eb] [Cm] And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm
Just wanna show you what [Eb] I'm not to need
What if I were the night sky?
What if I [Ab] were the night sky?
It's my [Eb] lullaby
My lullaby to leave by

[Bb] [Eb]
What if we hadn't been each other at the same time?
Would you tell me all the stories from when you're young and in [Ab] your prime?
Would I rock you to sleep?
Would you tell me all the secrets you don't [Eb] need to keep?
Would I still [Gm] miss you?
Or would [Eb] you [Ab] still have [Eb] been mine?
Sound as a wave like a wave on the ocean
And plays the ocean like a violin
[Ab] Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
Biggest melody I never heard
[Eb]
before
What if I were the night sky?
What if I [Ab] were the night sky?
It's my [Abm] lullaby to leave [Eb] by
My lullaby to leave by
Lullaby [Ab] to leave by
