INTRO: C   G   Am   F

            C         G
I watch the sun going down
        Am                C
While I stand on sacred ground
      G7       C           G
Where once the night found us
       Am                  F   Dm
In the twilight of our love


               F        G
You said you'd meet me here
        Am         Dm
And I'm all alone
            F     G
You sounded so sincere
        C          G
Did you lead me on


CHORUS:
           C             F          C   G
I told the starry sky to wait for you
           C                 F           G
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
       C                   F          
I even told the night that you were true
               C       F 
And you would be here soon
                   G       C    G   Am   F
And now I'm lying to the moon


           C            G
And so the night takes me in
       Am                C
Like a sympathetic friend
    G7        C                G
And sends the wind through the trees
       Am               F    Dm
So the willow weeps for me


        F       G
Shadows fool my eyes
      Am               Dm
And I think I see you
          F          G
Then they start to cry
          C                      G
Don't you know they believed you


CHORUS:
           C             F          C   G
I told the starry sky to wait for you
           C                 F           G
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
       C                   F          
I even told the night that you were true
               C       F 
And you would be here soon
                   G       Am  C   
And now I'm lying to the moon____


INTERLUDE: F   C  G-C  F  C  G


CHORUS:
           C             F        C     G
I told the starry sky to wait for you
           C                 F           G
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
       C                   F          
I even told the night that you were true
               C       F 
And you would be here soon
            C      G       C    
And now I'm lying to the moon
