Verse1:


    D5               G5 G5         C5
  I try to be patient, I     try not to moan.
  A5       D5              G5    G5         C5      C7
  But it's driving me crazy try'ng to live here alone.
  F5                    F#?7                     C5     Bb5
  My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself.
  A5           D5   D7    D5    D7          G5  G5  G5 G5
  I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf.



Chorus:


  C5                       Am7
  The moon is wasting its shine
                D5              G5 G5
  Shining on me until I see you again.
  Em7                   A5
  I won't be out in the moonlight
  F5                       G5  G5
  And I'll be sleeping by ten.
  C5                           Am7
  The birds are wasting their song
                D5                   G5 G5
  Singing to me until I'm waking with you.
  Em7                     A5
  Until you're back in my arms, dear,
  F5                           G5                  C5
  The birds will have to find something better to do.

Verse2:


  A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine.
  But it's not much comfort when I'm crying all night.
  Friends and relations are running out of patience with me.
  I keep myself to myself but I'm no company.



Chorus:


  C5                       Am7
  The moon is wasting its shine
                D5              G5 G5
  Shining on me until I see you again.
  Em7                   A5
  I won't be out in the moonlight
  F5                       G5  G5
  And I'll be sleeping by ten.
  C5                           Am7
  The birds are wasting their song
                D5                   G5 G5
  Singing to me until I'm waking with you.
  Em7                     A5
  Until you're back in my arms, dear,
  F5                           G5                  C5
  The birds will have to find something better to do.
  C5  A5
  So baby, till you're back in my arms
  F5                           G5                  C5
  The birds will have to find something better to do.
