Verse: 
          Bm                       D          Bm                   D 
Well, the moon I know, in the town I live, is steady as she waits. 
   Bm                         D          F#m            D 
It seems as though she yearns for me and calls me by my name. 
    Bm                  D      Bm                       D 
Sometimes she says come to me, kiss me while it's late. 
    Bm                         D             F#m    G 
And other nights she's just hanging with the stars. 


Bridge: 
    Bm                         Em7 
And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes 
    G                               A 
And what if he never comes when you call? 


Chorus: 
      D                          G  
And, 'Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright,' she says, 'Once upon a time I lived a perfect night.' 
 D                              G                      A                    A4 
'Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life,' she says, 'In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago.'

Verse: 
Bm                          D          Bm                     D 
'Don't look back,' I heard a voice, in velvet I couldn't see. 
    Bm                       D                  F#m                D 
The pictures then were black and white, and the details were in between. 
  Bm                  D         Bm                        D 
I heard about a woman once, who did everything ever asked of her. 
    Bm                          D           F#m                  G 
She died last week and her last words were,     'it wasn't worth it.' 


Bridge: 
    Bm                             Em7 
And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes 
    G                      A 
And   who's gonna save you now? 


Chorus: 
      D                          G  
And, 'Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright,' she says, 'Once upon a time I lived a perfect night.' 
 D                              G                      A                    A4 
'Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life,' she says, 'In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago.' 
      D                          G  
And, 'Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright,' she says, 'Once upon a time I lived a perfect night.' 
 D                              G                      A                    A4 
'Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life,' she says, 'In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago.'

And, 'Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright,' she says, 'Once upon a time I lived a perfect night.' 
 D                              G                      A                    A4 
'Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life,' she says, 'In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago.' 
 D                        G                  
'Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright,' she says,  
 D                              G                 A 
'Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life,' she says,  


Outro: 
D                                                                          G 
Way back when, when we became friends, I was you, you were my defense. And quiet was the night. 
    D                                                                                             
You showed me that bridge, and it brought you home. You told me about it and I never let it go,  
      G                                     A4                           Bm Bm G  D  D  D D 
And I guess I might've been doing the same. Anyhow, quiet was the night.
