The Wallflowers - Shy of the moon

^GPretty little girl on the side of the road yellow hair in a yellow bow ^GLittle thumb sticking in the exit lane two packs of smokes and a candy cane ^CWith women hips and baby lips A hallelujah book in the back of a ^Gpillow-slip If ^Dshe gets out of here too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the ^Gmoon

If ^Gshe's been havin' the same old dreams of lullabies and pale blue skies ^GFallen asleep beneath the stars Orion aims and shoots his arrows ^Coh so far aims 'em hard He shoots the moon and takes her as his ^Gown reward If ^Dshe's gonna see those stars too soon She'll run fast by the shy of the ^Gmoon

^GIf she found out so long ago that she wants more than all she knows The ^Griver ends right as she goes water breaks and she's gone down in the ^Cundertow She's below, but i'll stand tall and hold up high my ^Gmistletoe ^DShe's gonna shine just like brand new She'll take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the ^Gmoon
