 Dm         G       C    C7M  C  C7M 
I' m lying on the moon
    Dm          G         C   C7M  C  C7M 
My dear, I' ll be there soon
       Dm        G       C    C7M  C  C7M 
It' s a quiet, starry place
             Dm          G 
Time' s we' re swallowed up
    F                   Fm              C    C7M  C  C7M 
In space we' re here a million miles away
  Dm               G       C    C7M  C  C7M 
There' s things I wish I knew
            Dm         G           C    C7M  C  C7M 
There' s no thing I' d keep from you
        Dm        G       C    C7M  C  C7M 
It' s a dark and shiny place
          Dm        G 
But with you, my dear
        F              Fm              C    C7M  C  C7M 
I' m safe and we' re a million miles away
       Dm     G      C    C7M  C  C7M 
We' re lying on the moon
        Dm       G         C    C7M  C  C7M 
It' s a perfect afternoon
         Dm          G        C    C7M  C  C7M 
Your shadow follows me all day
        Dm          G      F 
Making sure that I' m okay
              Fm             C    C7M  C  C7M 
And we' re a million miles away
