[Verse 1]
            Fm
I would give up
forever
               D#
to be somebody
to you
          C#
And I hate when
we
fight and forget
It's not me
        D#
versus you

[Pre-Chorus]
    Fm
I don't want pain,
I don't want hurt,
I don't want sorrow
 D#
I don't want lies,
I don't want tears,
I don't want shallow
C#
I have my faults,
I know where they fall
and for that I'm sorry
 D#
I'm tryin', baby

[Chorus]
                 Fm
'Cause I want you
Wishing I would be
enough, 'cause I
                D#
don't wanna lose
Waking up and
knowing that
                 C#
we'd still choose
                D#
To see another moon
And I don't wanna
   Fm
give up
Just because we're on
our darkest hour
                  D#
and it's real tough
I will love you
like the
                 C#
stars love to shoot
And shadows love
        D#
the moon

How to play Moon: key, chords and progression

Moon by Austin Giorgio sits in F minor (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭), and you need 3 chords to play it: Fm, D# and C#.

Listen for Fm – D# – C# – D# (i – VII – VI – VII in F minor), a minor “Aeolian” loop common in rock and Afrobeats: the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Em, D, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
