[Am]Where did you learn what it means to [Em]reciprocate? [G]
[Am]And how much can I be [Em]expected to [G]tolerate?
[Am]So I started to think about the plans I made
The [G]debt [Em]unpaid, [Am]and you just can’t call, a spade a [Em]spade


[C][D]I watch the moon, let it run [E] my mood
Can’t [G]stop thinking of [E]you
[C]I [D]watch [E]you (Now I let it go)


(And I watch as things play out like), [C]so long nice to [D]know you I’ll be
[F]Moving [Em]on


[Am]We started off in such a nice place, [Em]we were talking the same language
[Am]I open and I’m closing, [G]you can’t stand the thought
Of a real beating [Am]heart, you’d be holding, having [Em]trouble
Owning and [Am]admit that, I am [G]hoping


[C]I watch the [D]moon, let it run my [E]mood
Can’t stop [G]thinking of [E]you
[C]I [D]watch you [E](Now I let it go)


(And I watch as things play out like), [C]so long nice [D]to know you I’ll be
[F][Em]Moving on, [F][Em]moving on


[Am] [Em]
[Am]You, yeah I always know the [Em]truth, but I can’t just say [Am]it to you
Yeah I know the [G]truth, I [Am]knew, yeah I always know the [Em]truth
But I can’t just say [Am]it to you, yeah I know the [G]truth


[Am]I never thought we’d see it [Em]through, I never could rely on [Am]you
And few times your [C]face came, into [Am]view, into [Em]view
I’m not into [Am]you, into [G]you
