G
Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
         Em
And I am waiting for the telephone to
 C            A
tell me I'm alive
 G
Well I heard you let somebody get their
fingers into you
              Em
It's getting cold in California
         C               A
I guess I'll be leaving soon

Chorus:
D
Daylight fading
         Em7            C
Come and waste another year
        Em7           C               G
All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into
  D
fear
D                             Em7             C
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
        Em             A                     C
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
          D                G
We leave just before it's gone

She said everybody loves you,
she says everybody cares
But all the things I keep inside myself,
they vanish in the air
If you tell me that you'll wait for me,
I'll say I won't be here
I want to say goodbye to you,
goodbye to all my friends
Goodbye to everyone I know
