I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair.

And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere.
Am F C G
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold en blue.

and the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon.
Am F C F
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
C F C F
You shined so bright you blinded me and left so I couldn't see.
C F G
I was the moon chasing the sun.
C Dm F G
There was never a prayer of ever catching up.
C F G
No matter how fast I would run.
C F G
Like the moon chasing the sun.
C F G
Just like the moon chasing the sun.
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of an eastern sky.
Am F C F
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see.
I was the moon chasing the sun.
