Verse:
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold and blue
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon
B minorBm G+G D MajorD G+G
And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
I was the moon chasing the sun
D MajorD E minorEm G+G A augmentedA
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
No matter how fast I would run
B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
Like the moon chasing the sun
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Just like the moon chasing the sun

D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
Verse:
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
The crickets called and the moon peeked out to the eastern sky
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
They both start up about this time each night
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief
B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat
B minorBm G+G D MajorD G+G
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
B minorBm G+G D MajorD G+G
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
I was the moon chasing the sun
D MajorD E minorEm G+G A augmentedA
There was never a prayer of ever catching up

Like the moon chasing the sun
