    G    
I woke up this morning 
  Em 
I guess I was dreaming 
 Am7 
'Bout that full moon 
  C 
'Bout that full moon 

  G 
You left our sheets mourning 
  Em 
Your love’s always pleeding 
  Am7 
Through these full moons 
  C 
Through these full moons 

Bm7 
You had me 
           C 
Like I was water on a desert 
Bm7 
You held me 
           C 
As if nothing else mattered  
   Bm7 
You asked me 
        C 
If I would stay with you forever 
     Am7 
We burned down our bed 
      B7 
As we watched that full moon 

   Em                         G 
You said all those mellow words 
    Em                     G 
You kissed me from head to toe 
   Am7          
I should have known better 
   C            D5 
That this was only true 
   G 
During that full moon 

       Am7 
Once in a blue moon 
    Em 
Once in a blue moon 
    C 
Once in a blue moon
