Verso 1:

G

Before there ever was a you and me

The endless void of a dark black sea

D C G

And a giant oyster, the mother of all things

D

And the oyster made a pearl

C G

And the pearl became the world

D

And the world began to turn

C G

And the sun began to burn

Am

Then one day I met you and I fell in love

C D

And you broke my tender heart and so here we are

[Refrão] C

But there was always the moon

D C

There was always the moon

D C

There was always the moon

D G

There was always the moon

Verso 2:

G

Before there ever was a you and me

The slender branch of a gentle tree

D C G

And a big red fruit that hung low to the ground

D

And you picked it out of spite

C G

And you took a careless bite

D

And the world was not the same

C G

And we all know who to blame

Am

So now when you think of me do you think of when

C D

There was still a chance but it’s over so here we are

[Refrão] C

But there was always the moon

D C

There was always the moon

D C

There was always the moon

D G

There was always the moon

Verso 3:

G

Remember when there was a you and me?

When there was such a thing as gravity?

D C G

And the tides came in and the tides went out again

D

But the water got too high

C G

And the sun began to die

D

And I tried to make you stay

C G

But the world pulled you away

Am

And now there are darker longer colder nights

C D

And the sun has gone for good and so here we are

[Refrão] C

But there is always the moon

D C

There is always the moon

D C

There is always the moon

D G

There is always the moon
