Intro
| G | G | G | G |
Verse 1
All of a [G]sudden now you're back again
I thought you were [Em]happy with whoever or did you dream about me now and
then?
Did you [Am]look up at the stars and feel [C]somethin' for the [G]constellations?
All those [G]lovers circlin' round their loves
Slings and [Em]arrows, dogs and lions, rivers separating touch from touch
The [Am]comedy of distance, the [C]tragedy of [G]separation
Chorus
Am I makin' all the [C]right moves?
Am I singin' you the [G]right blues?
Is there a time that I could [C]call you
Just to [D]see how you are [G]doin'?
Verse 2
I said, "How [G]is it that you come back to me?"
You don't need the [Em]stories of my scars or in the stars to tell you nothin's
free
I [Am]traded all the innocence I [C]ever had for [G]hesitation
I said, [G]"Won't you tell me where you been?"
You put a [Em]finger to my lips and then you kissed me once and once again
The [Am]crickets all leapt up and met the [C]moon with a standin' [G]ovation
Chorus
Am I makin' all the [C]right moves?
Am I singin' you the [G]right blues?
Is there a time that I could [C]call you
Just to [D]see how you are [G]doin'?

Verse 3
I heard the [G]night birds pickin' up the song
You threw your [Em]hair back and sang along
And I [Am]realized that I might lose, you might [C]lose me,
drift apart in the night and not know why and [G]not know how
I said, "What if [G]we are like the Northern sky?"
"What if there are [Em]things that come between us that we can't take back and
we can't make right?"
You said, [Am]"I don't know darlin', but I'm [C]here with you and we're comin' to
the chorus [G]now!"
Chorus
Am I makin' all the [C]right moves?
Am I singin' you the [Em]right blues?
Is there a time that I could [C]call you
Just to [D]see how you are [G]doin'?
Chorus
Am I makin' all the [C]right moves?
Am I singin' you the [Em]right blues?
Is there a time that I could [C]call you
Just to [D]see how you are [G]doin'? ooh ooh ooh
