The moon is wasting its shine
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Shining on me until I see you again.
Em7 A7
I won't be out in the moonlight
F G7sus4 G7
And I'll be sleeping by ten.
C Am7
The birds are wasting their song

Singing to me until I'm waking with you.

Until you're back in my arms, dear,

The birds will have to find something better to do.

I keep myself to myself but I'm no company.

The birds will have to find something better to do.
