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 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G
And an open door was to a girl like the stars are to the sky
Am F (9 fr.) Em Am F(9) Em Gsus4 G
It's funny how the world lives up to all your expectations
Dm7 Dm C (9 fr.)/E C(9)/E F (9 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G
With adventures for the stout of heart, and the lure of the open spaces
C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F (9 fr.) 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 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G
Accounts for where you want to go, or what you're running from
Am F (9 fr.) Em Am Dm7 C(9)/E F(9) F (9 fr.) F (9 fr.) F (9 fr.)
Back when darkness overtook me on a blind man's curve
I re[C]lied up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon,[G] I re[C]lied up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon[G]
I re[C]lied up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon and [G]Saint

C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F (9 fr.) 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 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F (9 fr.) 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 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Am F (9 fr.) Em Am F(9) Em Gsus4 G
Now I have run from the arms of lovers, I've run from the eyes of friends
Dm7(4) Dm7(4) C (9 fr.)/E C(9)/E F (9 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
I have run from the hands of kindness, I've run just because I can
C C Dm7(4) Dm7(4) F (9 fr.) 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 fr.) F(9) Gsus4 G
And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes
Am F (9 fr.) Em Am Dm7 C(9)/E F(9) F (9 fr.) F (9 fr.) G
It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve
And I re[C]ly up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon,[G] I re[C]ly up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon[G]
I re[C]ly up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon and [G]Saint Chri[C]stopher[Dm7] [G] [G]
I re[C]ly up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon,[G] I re[C]ly up[Dm7(4)]on the m[G]oon[Em7]
Am Dm7 G G F (9 fr.) F(9)
I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher
C (9 fr.)/E C(9)/E Dm7 C(9)/E F (9 fr.).
to be my guide.
Here's some tab for the intro...where I put asterisks, that means fill in
a couple extra notes; I wasn't sure which ones to put in.
