Verse:
          Bm                       D          Bm                   D
Well, the moon I know, in the town I live, is steady as she waits.
   Bm                         D          F#m            D
It seems as though she yearns for me and calls me by my name.
    Bm                  D      Bm                       D
Sometimes she says come to me, kiss me while it's late.
    Bm                         D             F#m    G
And other nights she's just hanging with the stars.


Bridge:
    Bm                         Em7
And I've seen her waiting from all her mistakes
    G                               A
And what if he never comes when you call?


Chorus:
      D                          G 
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright," she says, "Once upon a time I lived a perfect night."
 D                              G                      A                    A4
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life," she says, "In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago."

Verse:
Bm                          D          Bm                     D
"Don't look back," I heard a voice, in velvet I couldn't see.
    Bm                       D                  F#m                D
The pictures then were black and white, and the details were in between.
  Bm                  D         Bm                        D
I heard about a woman once, who did everything ever asked of her.
    Bm                          D           F#m                  G
She died last week and her last words were,     "it wasn't worth it."


Bridge:
    Bm                             Em7
And I've seen her patience through all her mistakes
    G                      A
And   who's gonna save you now?


Chorus:
      D                          G 
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright," she says, "Once upon a time I lived a perfect night."
 D                              G                      A                    A4
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life," she says, "In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago."
      D                          G 
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright," she says, "Once upon a time I lived a perfect night."
 D                              G                      A                    A4
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life," she says, "In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago."

Chorus:
      D                          G 
And, "Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright," she says, "Once upon a time I lived a perfect night."
 D                              G                      A                    A4
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life," she says, "In a dream of mine from a thousand years ago."
 D                        G                 
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, it's alright," she says, 
 D                              G                 A
"Heyayeah, heyayeah, in another life," she says, 


Outro:
D                                                                          G
Way back when, when we became friends, I was you, you were my defense. And quiet was the night.
    D                                                                                            
You showed me that bridge, and it brought you home. You told me about it and I never let it go, 
      G                                     A4                           Bm Bm G  D  D  D D
And I guess I might've been doing the same. Anyhow, quiet was the night.
