C/G 
Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean 

C/G                            G    C 
Moon plays the ocean like a violin 
  
C/F 
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore,  

C/F                            C 
Biggest melody you never heard before. 

                   G 
What if I were the night sky? 
                    
                   C/F  
What if I were the night sky? 

            C                  G 
It's my lullaby; My lullaby to leave by 

           C/F 
Lullaby to leave by. 

              C  
If I were the night 



C/G  
What if we hadn't been born at the same time 
  
C/G                     G      C 
What if you were 75 and I were 9? 

C/F 
Would I come visit you? 
  
                                   C 
Bring you cookies in an old folks' home 

                   G 
Would you be there alone? 
  
         Am 
When the late summer lightning fires off in your arms 

                                  C 
Will I remember to breathe? No, I never will. 

   Am 
If I could convince you that I mean you no harm 

                        C 
Just wanna show you how not to need 

                  G         C/F 
If i were the the night sky...  and if i were the night sky 

             C 
Heres my lullaby 

              G         C/F 
My lullaby to leave by 
               
              C 
If i were the night 


C/G x4 G C (let ring) 

                                                   C (let ring) 
What if we hadn't been each other at the same time 

                                                                     C/F 
Would you tell me all the stories from when you're young and in your prime 


Would I rock you to sleep 

                                                    C 
Would you tell me all the secrets you don't need to keep 

              G 
Would I still miss you 

              C/F            C 
Oh, would you then have been mine? 

C/G 
Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean 

                                    G (let ring) 
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
