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)
