[C/G]Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
[C/G]Moon plays the ocean like a vio[G]lin[C]
[C/F]Pushing and pulling from shore to shore,
[C/F]Biggest melody you never heard [C]before.
What if I were the [G]night sky?
What if I were the [C/F]night sky?
It's my lull[C]aby; My lullaby to [G]leave by
Lullaby to [C/F]leave by.
If I were the [C]night
[C/G]What if we hadn't been born at the same time
[C/G]What if you were 75 and [G]I were [C]9?
[C/F]Would I come visit you?
Bring you cookies in an old folks' [C]home
Would you be there [G]alone?
When the [Am]late summer lightning fires off in your arms
Will I remember to breathe? No, I [C]never will.
If [Am]I could convince you that I mean you no harm
Just wanna show you how [C]not to need
If i were the the [G]night sky.[C/F].. and if i were the night sky
Heres my lull[C]aby
My lullaby to [G]leave by[C/F]
If i were the [C]night
C/G x4 G C (let ring)
C (let ring)
What if we hadn't been each other at the same time
Would you tell me all the stories from when you're young and in your [C/F]prime
Would I rock you to sleep
Would you tell me all the secrets you don't need to [C]keep
Would I still [G]miss you
Oh, would you [C/F]then have been [C]mine?
[C/G]Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
G (let ring)
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
