G                   B7 
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms 
      C             D 
It's raining out tonight 
G             B7 
What a way to end the day 
    C               D 
By turnin' out the light 
C              D                 G 
Shoot the moon right between the eyes 
G/F#    Em 
I'm sending  
  C             D             G 
Most of me to sunny country side 


Runnin' through sky of blue  
rollin' in the sun 
Every day has a way  
of overflowing one 
Shoot the moon right between the eyes 
I'm keeping  
most of me in sunny country side 


Don't know how I did that now 
Wonder where it's gone 
Must have spent the way I went  
Waitin' for the dawn 
Shoot the moon right between the eyes 
I'm screaming 
Take me back to sunny country side 
Shoot the moon right between the eyes 
I'm screaming 
Take me back to sunny country side 

G                   B7 
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms 
     C             D 
It's rainin' out tonight...
