[Verse 1]
C G/C
I pictured a rainbow
C C/G
you held in your hands
F G/F
I had flashes
F G/F
but you saw then plan
C G/C
I wondered out in the world for years
C G/C F
while you just stayed in your room
G/F F
I saw the crescent
G/F C
you saw the whole of the moon!
G/C F C/E
The whole of the moon!
[Verse 2]
C
You were there at the turnstiles
G/C
with the wind at your heels
C
You stretched for the stars
G/C
and you know how it feels to reach
F G/F F
too high, too far, too soon,
G/F C
you saw the whole of the moon!
[Verse 3]
G/C
I was grounded
C G/C
while you filled the skies
F G/F F
I was dumbfounded by truths
G/F
you cut through lies
C G/C C
I saw the rain-dirty valley
G/C
you saw Brigadoon
F G/F F
I saw the crescent
G/F C
you saw the whole of the moon!

[Bridge]
C G/B Am
I spoke about wings
G6
you just flew
F C/E Dm
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
C/E
you just knew
C G/C
I sighed
C G/C
but you swooned!
F G/F F
I saw the crescent
G/F C
you saw the whole of the moon!
G/C F G/F
The whole of the moon!
[Verse 4]
C
With a torch in your pocket
G/C
and the wind at your heels
C
You climbed on the ladder
G/C
and you know how it feels to reach
F G/F F
too high, too far, too soon,
G/F C
you saw the whole of the moon!
G/C F
The whole of the moon!
G/F
Hey, yeah!
[Verse 5]
C
Unicorns and cannonballs,
G/C
palaces and piers,
C
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,
G/C
wide oceans full of tears,
F
Flag, rags, ferry boats,
G/F
scimitars and scarves,
F
Every precious dream and vision
G/F
underneath the stars
C
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
G/C
with the wind in your sails
C
You came like a comet
G/C
blazing your trail
F G/F F
Too high, too far, too soon,
G/F C G/C
you saw the whole of the moon!
