Jonathan Coulton - Always the moon

^FBefore there ever was a you and me The endless void of a dark black sea ^GAnd a gian^Ft oyste^Fr, the mother of all things And t^Ghe oyster made a pearl And ^Fthe pearl^F became the world And ^Gthe world began to turn And ^Fthe su^Fn began to burn Then^Dm one day I met you and I fell in love And ^Fyou broke my ^Gtender heart and so here we are

But there^F was always the moon Ther^Ge was alway^Fs the moon Ther^Ge was alway^Fs the moon Ther^Ge was alway^Fs the moon

^FBefore there ever was a you and me The slender branch of a gentle tree And ^Ga big red ^Ffruit tha^Ft hung low to the ground And^G you picked it out of spite And ^Fyou too^Fk a careless bite And ^Gthe world was not the same An^Fd we all k^Fnow who to blame So no^Dmw when you think of me do you think of when There^F was still a ^Gchance but it’s over so here we are

But there^F was always the moon Ther^Ge was alway^Fs the moon Ther^Ge was alway^Fs the moon Ther^Ge was alway^Fs the moon

^FRemember when there was a you and me? When there was such a thing as gravity? And the t^Gides cam^Fe in and ^Fthe tides went out again But^G the water got too high And^F the su^Fn began to die An^Gd I tried to make you stay But ^Fthe wor^Fld pulled you away And now ^Dmthere are darker longer colder nights And the s^Fun has gone fo^Gr good and so here we are

But there^F is always the moon Ther^Ge is always^F the moon Ther^Ge is always^F the moon Ther^Ge is always^F the moon
