[Verse 1]
 C        Am11   Am*
Out past Silver City
 F                 C    Am11
Racing through the ni - ght
Am                Em
   Stellar regions skipping
                     G
Me, I'm just on that high

   C      Am11    Am*
If I knew now what I knew then
         F             C   Am11
With that desert in my ey - es
Am                 Em
   There I might go missing
                     G
You're a lot like me inside

[Pre-Chorus]
C  Am11  Am*
Ooo

[Chorus]
       F           C
Sittin on a paper moon
          G               Am
Like you own the night itself
Am/G        F
Taking her time
                 G       Am
I hope you find your truth
     Dm                G
And never come back down to earth

       F           C
Sittin on a paper moon
          G               Am
Like you own the night itself
Am/G        F
Taking her time
                 G       Am
I hope you find your truth
     Dm                G
And never come back down to earth

[Verse 2]
 C        Am11    Am*
It's been nearly twenty years
         F                 C    Am11
Since I knew those bright eyes
    Am            Em
The sky was a shade bluer
                     G
The sunset, on fire

 C       Am11  Am*
Down in New   Mexico
         F             C   Am11
There I knew I got it ri - ght
         Am            Em
But the mind just has to wander
                      G
And again I'm here tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
C  Am11  Am
Ooo

[Chorus]
       F           C
Sittin on a paper moon
          G               Am
Like you own the night itself
Am/G        F
Taking her time
                 G       Am
I hope you find your truth
     Dm                G
And never come back down to earth

       F           C
Sittin on a paper moon
          G               Am
Like you own the night itself
Am/G        F
Taking her time
                 G       Am
I hope you find your truth
     Dm                G
And never come back down to earth
