And that’s not what it’s about, 

        Abm              F#
I’m so tired of missing out.



[Chorus]

          E           F#            Abm                          B
I look on up, to the sky.  I wonder why I put a filter between beauty and my eyes.
          E              F#                Abm                         B
I look on up, into your eyes.  It’s time I put down my devices and I start to live my life.
          E             F#               
I look on up, I look on up, to the sky.

Riff 1                                   Riff 2         Riff 3      Riff 4
Have you ever tried to photograph the moon?  Well I have too, I have too.

Find it funny how it never turns out right.  It’s like someone poked a pinhole in the canvas of the night.
          Riff 2                        Abm              F#
And that’s not what it’s about, I’m so tired of missing out.

I look on up, into your eyes.  It’s time I put down my devices and I start to live my life.
          E              F#
I look on up, I look on up.

Cause it’s a Nick Drake Pink Moon seeing the pines, in the Pacific North West for the first time.
            E                          E
I cannot believe my eyes.  Yeah I’m singing out loud in the middle of the night,
       Abm         F#                 E                     F#
On a balcony in Brisbane looking up into the sky, into the sky.
            Abm                                 B
It’s time I put down my devices and I start to live my life.

I look on up, into your eyes.  It’s time I put down my devices and I start to live my life.
           E            F#        Riff 5
I look on up, I look on up, to the sky.
