The Half Of The Moon

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] C [Verse 1] C G He met her eighteen years ago somewhere on the line Am F G When dating sites were more than simply flicking left or right C G You got to know their interests, their records and their books Am F G You got to know what makes them tick not j-ust the way they look F G E7 Am And now they’re sitting on the clifftop looking out across the sea F G E7 Am And she takes his hand in hers and says, “There’s nowhere I’d rather be, F G F G But if you could wish for anything, anything you like F G C What would you wish for tonight”? G [Verse 2] C G I wish it was still the eighties we could go out on a date Am F G A Wimpy and a cinema and stay out really late C G We could go watch Dirty Dancing, we could try and do the same, Am F G Or see the one about the breakfast club, I don’t recall the name F G E7 Am And you could wear your favourite batwing, you could even perm your hair F G E7 Am You could wear your Lycra and your neon pink legwarmers everywhere F G F G And I’d wear my linen trousers, have my jumper round my shoulders F G C And I’d grow a little moustache to make me feel a few years o-l-der G [Verse 3] C G Yeah if it was still the eighties I’d take you to the reservoir Am F G And we’d have our names on the visor on the windscreen of my car C G And a couple of cans of Quattro, some Pacers for the drive Am F G And with the blaring Dukes of Hazzard horn we’d feel so al-ive F G E7 Am And we could stop off at a viewpoint and ask some-one along the way F G E7 Am To take 24-ish photos as a memory of our day F G F G Neither of us would do our hair, neither of us would pout F G C And we’d only have to wait three weeks to see if they ca-me ou-t G [Verse 4] C G I’d make a date with Bruno Brookes at four o’clock on Sunday Am F G And with a TDK C60 in I’d press record and play C G When I heard the songs I know you love and ones I think you’d like Am F G And ones that make me think of you and ones that make me cry F G E7 Am And with an inlay made from Smash Hits maga-zines and glue and card F G E7 Am I’d take the compi-lation and I’d leave it in your car F G F G With a note that says I’m sorry, I’m a-fraid that halfway through F G C The tape needs turning over or you’ll only get the half of the moon. G [Fill] F G The half of the moon yeah yeah [Instrumental] F G F G [Verse 5] C G Yeah I wish it was still the eighties, we could stay in and watch TV Am F G Rentaghost, The Young Ones or the one with Mr. T C G Or play Chuckie Egg or Pacman, or help Frogger cross the road Am F G And play Sub-buteo and Buckaroo while we wait for them to load F G E7 Am And just once a day, at six, we’d cuddle up and watch the news F G E7 Am And then try and hammer blakeys to the bottom of our shoes F G F G We could try to do the Rubik’s Cube without taking it a-part F G C And in the evening we could rollerskate to-gether through the par-rk G C [Verse 6] C G The eighties sound amazing and it’s good to reminisce Am F G And I’m sure if I had known you then I’d be in love like this C G But I’m not sure it’s the decade that made you feel that way Am F G More that you were in your teens and carefree every day F G E7 Am I know you miss the eighties I can see it in your eyes F G E7 Am You were happier then and everyone you loved was still alive F G F G But a heart can only take so much, don’t fill it with re-gret F Fm C Coz if this was still the eighties we would never have met.
