room / I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
DO SOL RE
The whole of the moon
[progression 2:]
SOL DO
You were there at the turnstiles with the wind at your heels
SOL RE
You stretched for the stars and you know how it feels
MIm RE DO
To reach too high, too far, too soon
RE SOL
You saw the whole of the moon
[progression 1]
I was grounded while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies
I saw the rain-dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
HORN SOLO
[progression 1]
I spoke about wings, you just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried--you just knew
I sighed...and you swooned
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon
[progression 2]
The torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels
You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels
To get too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
DO SOL RE
Yeah yeah yeah
SOL DO
BRIDGE: Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers
SOL RE
Trumpets, towers and tenements, wide oceans full of tears
MIm RE
Rags, rags, ferryboats, cylinders (?) and scarves
DO RE
Every precious dream and vision underneath the stars
[backing vocals sing "the torch in your pocket" verse]

You came like a comet blazing your trails
Too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
DO SOL RE
The whole of the moon
Repeat G C G D
SOL DO SOL RE
Oh, oh, oh, did you see the whole of the moon
Repeat some more, end on G
