Verse1:


    Dm7               G7sus4 G7         C
  I try to be patient, I     try not to moan.
  A7       Dm7              G7sus4    G7         C      C7
  But it's driving me crazy try'ng to live here alone.
  F                    F#º7                     C     Bb6
  My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself.
  A7           D7sus4   D7    D7sus4    D7          G7sus4  G7  G7sus4 G7
  I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf.



Chorus:


  C                       Am7
  The moon is wasting its shine
                Dm7              G7sus4 G7
  Shining on me until I see you again.
  Em7                   A7
  I won't be out in the moonlight
  F                       G7sus4  G7
  And I'll be sleeping by ten.
  C                           Am7
  The birds are wasting their song
                Dm7                   G7sus4 G7
  Singing to me until I'm waking with you.
  Em7                     A7
  Until you're back in my arms, dear,
  F                           G7                  C
  The birds will have to find something better to do.

Verse2:


  A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine.
  But it's not much comfort when I'm crying all night.
  Friends and relations are running out of patience with me.
  I keep myself to myself but I'm no company.



Chorus:


  C                       Am7
  The moon is wasting its shine
                Dm7              G7sus4 G7
  Shining on me until I see you again.
  Em7                   A7
  I won't be out in the moonlight
  F                       G7sus4  G7
  And I'll be sleeping by ten.
  C                           Am7
  The birds are wasting their song
                Dm7                   G7sus4 G7
  Singing to me until I'm waking with you.
  Em7                     A7
  Until you're back in my arms, dear,
  F                           G7                  C
  The birds will have to find something better to do.
  C  A7
  So baby, till you're back in my arms
  F                           G7                  C
  The birds will have to find something better to do.
