Guitar chords with lyrics

GRAPEFRUIT MOON
Cmaj7        G9             F        C              F  C/Fsharp G9  G7
  Grapefruit moon, one star shining, shining down on me
Cmaj7        G9                F    C               F  C/Fsharp G9   G
  Heard that tune, and now I'm pining, honey, can't you see?
Am                    G            F               C     
  'Cause every time I hear that melody -
Am                    G         F
Something  breaks inside


Cmaj7           G9            F       C                     F     C/Fsharp
  the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back
C
the tide
(instr.) C      C/D    C/E      F   (repeat)

Never had no destination, could not get across
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost
'Cause every time I hear that melody - Something breaks inside
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity
'Cause every time I hear that melody - Puts me up a tree
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see



Never had no destination, could not get across
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost
'Cause every time I hear that melody - Something breaks inside
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity
'Cause every time I hear that melody - Puts me up a tree
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see


breaks inside,
Cmaj7            G9            F       C         F         F    C/Fsharp
  the grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back
G13   C
the tide

(piano solo) C      C/D     C/E      F       C   C/D    C/E      F

Never had no destination, could not get across
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost
'Cause every time I hear that melody - Something breaks inside
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is more than I can hide

Now I'm smoking cigarettes and I strive for purity
And I slip just like the stars into obscurity
'Cause every time I hear that melody - Puts me up a tree
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see

(have worked these chords out myself and am pretty sure they're correct)
