Intro: Gm D7 Gm D7

Verse 1:
          Gm                  D7
Red, red moon, keep on rising
            Gm
The sunset soon indeed will bleed in my horizon
      F
The crescent rests, tethered to the west
  F7                                 D7
Waxing to the rhythm writhing in my chest
      Gm
That crack between the watercolor sky and sea is the

Corner where you’re born in the mist

Pre-Chorus:
Eb             Gm                        Eb                           Gm
    I might deride the tide, ‘cause I’m pulled as it pools 'round my feet
Eb     Ebm        Gm                      F                    D   D7
    Towards your stolen light, while I'm held in your slight gravity!

Chorus:
        Gm                 Cm
Well I walk the equator, chasing the light
  D7                        Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
   Gm                        Cm
I might remember or might assume
                              D7                  Gm
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
   Cm                      D7                 Gm
I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
         Cm                      D7                 Gm
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon

Interlude: Gm D7

Verse 2:
          Gm                                 D7
Red, red moon. When will your shadows break?
          Gm
Tell the truth; what’re you hiding behind that face?
     F
If matter's in then I might space out
 F7                                    D7
Why can’t I take in what you’ve been dishing out?
 Gm
Why do I reject while you endlessly reflect?

You’re projecting your perfection astounds

Pre-Chorus:
Eb                    Gm                   Eb                           Gm
    Nighttime, please hide my eyes, so the man up there won’t watch me stare
Eb       Ebm    Gm                         F                               D  D7
    Teach me to make moonshine, and we’ll get drunk on the spirits of the air

Chorus:
        Gm                 Cm
Well I walk the equator, chasing the light
  D7                        Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
   Gm                        Cm
I might remember or might assume
                              D7                  Gm
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
   Cm                      D7                 Gm
I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon

Bridge:
     G              Cm            F              Bb
The constellations form infinite paisleys in the sky
G         Cm              D                       G
The condensation tumbles down and erases all my sight
          Cm               F                      Bb
And is it in the nightmare map of the cosmos up high?
G         Cm              D                    D7         Gm
Or is it in the signs? Or stranger still, the dust in my eyes?

Chorus:
        Gm                 Cm
Well I walk the equator, chasing the light
  D7                        Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
   Gm                        Cm
I might remember or might assume
                              D7
But I only turn around every once
         Gm                 Cm
I said I walk the equator, chasing the light
  D7                        Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
   Gm                        Cm
I might remember or might assume
                              D7                  Gm
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
         Cm                      D7                 Gm
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
         Cm                      D7                 Gm
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
