Watchin' the Moon on the ocean

And we know that it's time to go

Heard the news on the radio
Em E Am Am/G F
One last round before we go
C G E
Through the pale, atmospheric glow
C C/B Am Am/G
And the oxygen's getting low

Sing a song that we used to know
Em E Am Am/G F
One last round before we go
C G C Am
One last round before we go

Didn't use to drink, and I
Am
Didn't use to think I
F C
Could ever dream about losin' you
Am
Didn't use to get low
C
This time of night, and I
Am
Didn't use to walk home
F
In the mornin' light without you
G
Without you
C Am
Didn't use to get high
Didn't use to drink
C Am
Didn't use to think I
F
Could ever dream about losin' you
G
You, but I do
C
It's you and I
It's do or die
Am
Suicide mission
Baby, by my side
C
We got one life and half of it's gone
Am
You know, I can't sleep with the television on
C Am
Didn't use to get high
C Am
With you by my side
C
Leave the light on
