[Verse]
D G A
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair
D G A
And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere
Bm G D A
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold and blue
Bm G D A
And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon
Bm G D G
And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
D G D G
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
[Chorus]
D G A
I was the moon chasing the sun
D Em G A
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
D G A
No matter how fast I would run
Bm G A
Like the moon chasing the sun
D G A
Just like the moon chasing the sun
[Interlude]
D G A
[Verse]
D G A
The crickets called and the moon peeked out to the eastern sky
D G A
They both start up about this time each night
Bm G D A
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief
Bm G D A
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat
Bm G D G
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye
Bm G D G
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see
[Chorus]
D G A
I was the moon chasing the sun
D Em G A
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
D G A
No matter how fast I would run
Bm G A
Like the moon chasing the sun
D G A
Just like the moon chasing the sun
