Intro: E B A B E B A B E B A B E B A B E 

Verse 1:
E
Fell in the door
         B
And you fell on the floor
           A
With your hand on the knob
        A
Looking up and abruptly
 E         
Forget what you're thinking
B               A
Fire alarms go off in your head you live 

Chorus:
          B          E          B   A
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
           E           B       A
How the windows lean into the room
          B          E          B   A
In the nightgown of the sullen moon

Fill:
B                       A    A          E            A     E
Drug trip. it's not a drug trip so you feel a bit insulted     
A                         A    E                    A      A       E
Space walk. It's like a space walk with the corresponding weight loss

Verse 2:
And you're nothing but air, with your hand in the air
And your shoelaces tied up together with care
There's a feeling of boredom, of the big whoredom
Following dressing up

Chorus:
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
How the windows lean into the room
In the nightgown of the sullen moon

Chorus:
In the nightgown of the sullen moon
How the windows lean into the room
In the nightgown of the sullen moon

Outro:
Your head is on the moon
It's not necessary to breathe
Forever is a long time

Your head is on the moon
It's not necessary to breathe
Forever is a long time
Your head is on the moon
Your head is on the moon
