[Intro]
D  G  D  G

[Verse 1]
D                  G
There was a moment I was so young
D                   G
Running back like I couldn't stop
D                    G
I was right where my mother was
Em              Bm            G         D  G  D  G
Kinda drunk and making up for something


[Verse 2]
D                 G
And for a moment, I got caught
D                   G
Better than that, I couldn't shut up
Em               Bm                G
Fighting all the ways, I'm like my father
Em             Bm            G
Every time you try to make it harder


[Chorus]
D     Em                 Bm             G
I was young, it's how it was and how it ended
D           Em               Bm              G
And I could tell just how it felt by how you said it
         Em                 G             D
With the moon ahead and the stars above me
         Em                 G             D
With the moon ahead and the stars above me


[Interlude]
D  G  D  G


[Verse 3]
D                    G
And I was watching a shadow grow
D                G
On the bedside before you woke up
D                   G
I could see how you thought I was
Em              Bm           G
Acting dumb and covering for someone


[Chorus]
D     Em                 Bm             G
I was young, it's how it was and how it ended
D           Em               Bm              G
And I could tell just how it felt by how you said it
         Em                 G             D
With the moon ahead and the stars above me
         Em                 G             D
With the moon ahead and the stars above me


[Interlude]
Em  Bm  Em  Bm
Em  Bm  G  D


[Bridge]
         Em                 Bm
With the moon ahead and the stars
        G
I wanna know something
        D
I wanna be where you are
         Em                   Bm
With the moon ahead, I should stop
        G
I wanna know something, I wanna be where you are


[Chorus]
D     Em                 Bm             G
I was young, it's how it was and how it ended
D           Em               Bm              G
And I could tell just how it felt by how you said it
D           Em            Bm               G
Oh, I could touch what we had and what had happened
D        Em         Bm                 G
There it was, I was done, you wouldn't let up
         Em                 G             D
With the moon ahead and the stars above me
         Em                 G             D
With the moon ahead and the stars above me


[Outro]
         Em                 Bm
With the moon ahead and the stars
        G
I wanna know something
        D
I wanna be where you are
