[F] [G]
[F] [G] [C]
I pictured [G] a rainbow,
[C] you held [G] it in your [F] hands.
[G] I had flashes,
[F] [G] but you saw the plan.
[C] I wandered out in [G] the world for years,
[C] [G] while you just stayed in [F] your room.
I saw the [G] crescent, [F]
you saw the whole [C] of the moon.
The whole of [F] the moon.
[C] [G]
[C] You're on the skies, with the 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 of [C] the moon.
I was grounded while you filled the [F] skies.
Yes, I was dumbfounded by truth.
You cut through lies, [C] I saw a rain-dirty valley.
You saw a [F] brigadoon, I saw the crescent.
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 wondered, I guessed, and I [C] tried.
[Dm] [Em] You just [C] knew, I said.
But you [Dm]
[F] swooned, I saw the crescent.
You saw the whole [C] of the moon.
The whole [F] of the moon.
[G] [C]
The 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] [F] far, too soon.
You saw the whole of [C] the moon.
The whole of [F] the moon.
[C] Unicorns and calluses and tears.
Trumpets, towers and tenements.
Wide oceans full of tears.
[F] Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars 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, legs in [D] your trail.
[F] Too high, too far, too soon.
You saw [C] the whole of the moon.
You see the whole of the moon.
[Dm] [C]
