Intro: C F G G (2x) 
 
C                   F             G  
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair. 
C                         F               G  
And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere. 
          Am               F              C      G  
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold en blue.  
          Am                F                  C             G  
and the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon. 
        Am                       F        C                  F  
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye  
       C                   F           C         F  
You shined so bright you blinded me and left so I couldn't see.  
   
          C     F           G  
I was the moon chasing the sun.  
           C           Dm       F         G  
There was never a prayer of ever catching up. 
          C    F            G  
No matter how fast I would run. 
          C    F          G  
Like the moon chasing the sun.  
              C    F           G   
Just like the moon chasing the sun. 
   
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of an eastern sky.  
They both start up about this time each night. 
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief. 
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat. 
 
 
And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why. 
It took so long for you to say goodbye. 
     Am                    F        C                F  
You shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see. 
 
 
I was the moon chasing the sun.  
There was never a prayer of ever catching up. 
No matter how fast I would run. 
Like the moon chasing the sun.  
Just like the moon chasing the sun.
