[intro]

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) C(9)/E G

When I was young I spoke like a child, and I saw with a child's eyes

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) Gsus G

And an open door was to a girl like the stars are to the sky

Am F(9) Em Am F(9) Em Gsus G

It's funny how the world lives up to all your expectations

Dm7 Dm C(9)/E C(9)/E F(9) F(9) Gsus G

With adventures for the stout of heart, and the lure of the open spaces

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) C(9)/E G

There's 2 lanes running down this road, whichever side you're on

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) Gsus G

Accounts for where you want to go, or what you're running from

Am F(9) Em Am Dm7 C(9)/E F(9) F(9) F(9) F(9)

Back when darkness overtook me on a blind man's curve

C Dm7(4) G G C Dm7(4) G G

I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon

C Dm7(4) G G

I relied upon the moon and Saint

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) C(9)/E G

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) C(9)/E G

Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) Gsus G

For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) C(9)/E G

Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) Gsus G

For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times

Am F(9) Em Am F(9) Em Gsus G

Now I have run from the arms of lovers, I've run from the eyes of friends

Dm7(4) Dm7(4) C(9)/E C(9)/E F(9) F(9) Gsus G Gsus G

I have run from the hands of kindness, I've run just because I can

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) C(9)/E G

But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman and I see with a woman's eyes

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F(9) F(9) Gsus G

And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes

Am F(9) Em Am Dm7 C(9)/E F(9) F(9) F(9) G

It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve

C Dm7(4) G G C Dm7(4) G G

And I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon

C Dm7(4) G G C Dm7 G G

I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher

C Dm7(4) G G C Dm7(4) G Em7

I rely upon the moon, I rely upon the moon

Am Dm7 G G F(9) F(9)

I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher

C(9)/E C(9)/E Dm7 C(9)/E F(9).

to be my guide.

a couple extra notes; I wasn't sure which ones to put in.
