[Verse]

G C

I pictured a rainbow,
F

G F

I had flashes,
C

you held in your hands

G
but you saw then plan
G

I wondered out in the world for years

G

while you just stayed in your room

GFG
I saw the crescent,
F

C G
you saw the whole of the moon!

The whole of the moon!

[Verse]

You were there at the turnstiles, with the wind at your heels
C

You stretched for the stars, and you know how it feels to reach

too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole of the moon!

[Verse]

G C

I was grounded, while you filled the skies

F

F G

I was dumbfounded by truths, you cut through lies

C

I saw the rain-dirty valley,

you saw Brigadoon

I saw the crescent,

you saw the whole of the moon!

I spoke about wings,

C

GCG

G F

I sighed,

but you swooned, I saw the crescent

you saw the whole of the moon, The whole of the moon!

[Verse]

With a torch in your pocket, and the wind at your heels

C

You climbed on the ladder, and you know how it feels to reach
F

too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole of the moon!
F

The whole of the moon, Hey, yeah!

[Verse]

Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers,

C

Trumpets, towers, and tenements, wide oceans full of tears,

F

Flag, rags, ferry boats, scimitars and scarves,

F

Every precious dream and vision, underneath the stars

Yes, you climbed on the ladder, with the wind in your sails
C

You came like a comet, blazing your trail

F

Too high, too far, too soon, you saw the whole of the moon!
