(0:00 - 0:10)
F A# F A#
Verse 1:
(0:11 - 0:55)
F A#
If all our life is but a dream
F
Fantastic posing greed
A#
Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea
D5 F
For diamonds do appear to be
D5 A#
Just like broken glass to me
F A#
And then she said she can't believe
F A#
Genius only comes along in storms of fabled foreign tongues
D5 F
Tripping eyes and flooded lungs
D5 A#
Northern downpour sends its love
Pre-Chorus:
(0:56 - 1:07)
Am C7 D5
Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Am A# F
Hey moon, don’t you go down

F A#
Sugarcane in the easy morning
D5 Gm
Weather vanes my one and lonely
Verse 2:
(1:20 - 2:04)
F A#
The ink is running toward the page
F
It’s chasing off the days
A#
Look back at both feet and that winding knee
A# D5 F
I missed your skin when you were east
D5 A#
You clicked your heels and wished for me
F A#
Through playful lips made of yarn
F
That fragile Capricorn
A#
Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves
A# D5 F
I know the world’s a broken bone
D5 A#
But melt your headaches call it home
Pre-Chorus:
(2:05 - 2:15)
Am C7 D5
Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Am A# F
Hey moon, don’t you go down
