[Verse 1]
G
On the dark side of the earth
C
Where the creatures are out

I'm a man on the moon

Midnight round my neck
C
And sunrise on my breath
D
I still wait for you
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D
Will you lay down all the things you've done?
G
Don't turn your face around
C D
You can come undone
[Chorus]
G
Well, hey
C D
Did you call, did you fall, Do you need someone?
G
And hey
C D
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone
Am
When I was alone, it was fine
G
I could deny all I like
D
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright
G
But, hey
C D
Did you call, did you fall, Do you need someone?
I could be someone for you
[Interlude]
G C D

Now there's gold in your eyes
C
In this rosy-fingered light

Like a man on the moon
G
Out of sight, out of mind
C
Never raise the alarm
D
Yeah, I'm just like you
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D
Will you lay down all the things you've done?
G
Don't turn your face around
C D
You can come undone
[Chorus]
G
Well, hey
C D
Did you call, did you fall, Do you need someone?
G
And hey
C D
I'm a mess myself, but I think I could be someone

When I was alone, it was fine
G
I could deny all I like
D
I could just push back and make believe and it was alright

But, hey
C D
Did you call, did you fall, Do you need someone?
I could be someone for you
[Instrumental]

Burn a bridge

It'll be alright

Things don't have to fall apart
