G
All of a sudden now you're back again
                    Em
I thought you were happy with whoever or did you dream about me now and then
         Am                            C                     G
Did you look up at the stars and feel something for the constellations
G
All those lovers circling round their loves
            Em
Slings and arrows, dogs and lions, rivers separating touch from touch
     Am                      C             G
The comedy of distance, the tragedy of separation

{R}                  C
Am I making all the right moves?
                       G
Am I singing you the right blues?
                          Am
Is there a time that I could call you
        C                G
Just to see how you are doing?


I said how is it that you come back to me?
You don't need the stories of my scars or in the stars to tell you nothing's free
I traded all the innocence I ever had for hesitation
I said won't you tell me where you been?
You put a finger to my lips and then you kissed me once and once again
The crickets all leapt up and met the moon with a standing ovation

Am I making all the right moves?
Am I singing you the right blues?
Is there a time that I could call you
Just to see how you are doing?

Break:
G - Em - Am - C - G x 2
A - C - G - D

I heard the night birds picking up the song
You threw your hair back and sang along
        Am                                                             C                 
               G
And I realized that I might lose you you might lose me drift apart in the night and 
know why and not know how
I said what if we are like the Northern sky?
What if there are things that come between us that we can't take back and we can't make right?
You said I don't know darlin' but I'm here with you and we're coming to the chorus now!

Am I making all the right moves?
Am I singing you the right blues?
Is there a time that I could call you
Just to see how you are doing?

Repeat chorus
