Matraca Berg  Lying to the Moon by Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset

Am Em  C   Am Em D

D           G         D
I watch the sun going down
         Em             G
While I stand on sacred ground.
      D        G           D
Where once the night found us.
       Em              C
In the twilight of our love.
Am             C        D
You said you'd meet me here.
    Em
But I'm all alone.
Am          C      D
You sounded so sincere.
              G
Well did you lead me on.
D          G             C        G
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
D          G            C
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
D      G                   C
I even told the night that you were true.
    Am        Bm      C
And you would be here soon.
            Am    D      G    G  D   Em  C
And now I'm lying to the moon.
C          G              D
And so the night takes me in.
       Em          G
Like a sympathetic friend.
    D     G         D
And sends away the trees.
       Em               C
And the willow weeps for me.
Am          C        D
The shadows fool my eyes.
      Em
And I think I see you.
Am        C        D
Then they start to cry.
          G
Don't you know that they believed you
D          G             C        G
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
D          G            C
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
D      G                   C
I even told the night that you were true.
    Am        Bm      C
And you would be here soon.
            Am    D      Am  Em  C  Am Em D  G
And now I'm lying to the moon.
