VERSE 1
A                            D
Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
         A               E
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
            A                  D
You’ve been living underground eating from a can
            A                          E             A
You’ve been running away from what you don’t understand, look
A                   D
   She’s slipping      You’re sliding down
A                             D
   Will she be there when you    hit the ground?

Let her talk about the things you can’t explain
        A                  D
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
         A                          E            A
If you want to kiss the sky better learn how to kneel
A                 D
   She’s the wave    she turns the tide
A                              D
