verse ii
G
before there ever was a you and me

the slender branch of a gentle tree
D C G
and a big red fruit that hung low to the ground
D
and you picked it out of spite
C G
and you took a careless bite
D
and the world was not the same
C G
and we all know who to blame
Am
so now when you think of me do you think of when
C D
there was still a chance but its over so here we are

remember when there was a you and me?

when there was such a thing as gravity?
D C G
and the tides came in and the tides went out again
D
but the water got too high
C G
and the sun began to die
D
and i tried to make you stay
C G
but the world pulled you away
Am
and now there are darker longer colder nights
C D
and the sun has gone for good and so here we are

chorus
C
but there is always the moon
D C
there is always the moon
D C
there is always the moon
D G
there is always the moon
