A                  C#7
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms
     D             E7
it's raining out tonight
A             C#7
what a way to end the day
   D              E7
by turnin out the light
D              E7                A    A/G# F#m
shoot the moon right between the eyes, i'm sending
D             E7            A
most of me to sunny country side

Runnin through, sky of blue
rollin in the sun
every day has a way of overflowin wine
shoot the moon right between the eyes, i'm keeping
most of me in sunny country side

don't know how, i did that now
i wonder why it's gone
musta spent the way i went
waitin for the dawn
shoot the moon right between the eyes, i'm screaming
take me back to sunny country side

shoot the moon right between the eyes, i'm screaming
take me back to sunny country side

clocks and spoons, and empty rooms
it's raining out tonight
