   F   Fm   C   Am

Verse 1:
F                   Fm
You could've had me anywhere
             C                             Am
You could've known me like the back of your hand
F                          Fm              C                       Am
Teeth clenched and we pretend like oil and water ever stood a fair chance

Pre-chorus:
                F         Fm       C         Am
Try to pull the truth out of your galaxy of lies
                F         Fm       C         Am
But every little shooting star was just a satellite, my baby

Chorus:
F                 Fm
Why'd you hang the moon so high
     C                   Am
If I couldn't reach it, hard as I try?
F                 Fm
Why'd you set the bar up there
     C                   Am                  F
With no set of shoulders, no set of stairs to climb?
                           C
I'd rather stay out of the atmosphere
              Am             F
I'm perfectly happy way down here
                           C
If I ain't got no wings to fly
          Am               F    Fm   C
Why'd you hang the moon so high?
          Am               F    Fm   C
Why'd you hang the moon so high

Verse 2:
F                  Fm
I guess I got what I expected
            C                          Am
Wrapping my limbs 'round a bulletproof vest
F               Fm                       C                       Am
What a mess now I'm left with, prying my ribs off the rock in my chest

Pre-chorus:
              F       Fm           C               Am
Thinking if I left it long enough, it would crystallize
               F          Fm      C               Am
Diamonds in the sky start falling at the speed of light, my baby

Chorus:
F                 Fm
Why'd you hang the moon so high
     C                   Am
If I couldn't reach it, hard as I try?
F                 Fm
Why'd you set the bar up there
     C                   Am                   F
With no set of shoulders, no set of stairs to climb?
                           C
I'd rather stay out of the atmosphere
              Am             F
I'm perfectly happy way down here
                           C
If I ain't got no wings to fly
          Am               F    Fm   C
Why'd you hang the moon so high?
          Am               F    Fm   C
Why'd you hang the moon so high?
          Am               F    Fm   C
Why'd you hang the moon so high?
          Am               F    Fm
Why'd you hang the moon so high?
C    Am
High?
