[Verse 1]
Dm                 Fmaj7
I used to wake and run with the moon
G              G7   G6    Dm
I lived like a rake and a young man
Dm                       Fmaj7
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
   G              G7  G6    Dm
my laughter the devil would frighten


[Chorus]
    Fmaj7         G        C            Dm
The sun she would come and beat me back down
    C                       Dm
but every cruel day had its nightfall
    Fmaj7       G          C        Dm
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
C                   Dm
full of fire and forgetful


[Verse 2]
Dm                   Fmaj7
My body was sharp my dark hair clean
    G             G7  G6  Dm
and outrage my joyful companion
Dm                   Fmaj7
whisperin' women how sweet did they seem
G            G7 G6 Dm
kneelin' for me to command them


[Chorus]
    Fmaj7         G         C         Dm
And time was like water but I was the sea
   C                        Dm
I woulden't have noticed it passin'
Fmaj7          G          C          Dm
except for the turnin' of night into day
        C                   Dm
and the turnin' of day into cursin


[Verse 3]
Dm                            Fmaj7
You look at me now, and don't think I don't know
     G        G7   G6    Dm
what all your eyes are a sayin'
Dm                               Fmaj7
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
             G               G7     G6     Dm
they're just tricks that his brains been a playin'?


[Chorus]
  Fmaj7    G        C            Dm
A lover of women he can't hardly stand
   C                           Dm
he trembles he's bent and he's broken
     Fmaj7       G        C        Dm
I've fallen it's true but I say to you
          C                        Dm
hold your tongues until after I've spoken


[Verse 4]
      Dm                     Fmaj7
I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
  G                   G7  G6     Dm
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
       Dm                         Fmaj7
but my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
     G             G7     G6 Dm
said friend, we're holdin' a wedding


[Chorus]
  Fmaj7     G           C          Dm
I buried my face but it spoke once again
    C                        Dm
the night to the day we're a bindin'
    Fmaj7        G           C          Dm
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
    C                     Dm
and even the moonlight is blinding
    Fmaj7        G           C          Dm
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
    C                     Dm*
and even the moonlight is blinding
