SHOOT THE MOON NORAH JONES
Intro: C C/B Am Am/G Am/F C Dm11 G
C C/B Am Am/G
The summer days are gone too soon
Am/F C F G
You shoot the moon, and miss completely
C C/B Am Am/G
And now you're left to face the gloom,
F C F G
The empty room, that once smelled sweetly
Am Am/G Am/F# F C
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
G C G Am Am/G Am/F#
you knew the reason. Why you had to each
Am/F G C G
be lonely. Was it just the season?
C C/B Am Am/G Am/F
Now the fall is here again you can't
C F G
begin to give in, it's all over.
C C/B Am Am/G Am/F
When the snows come rolling through
C F G
you're rolling too with some new lover.
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F C
Will you think of times you've told me
G C G Am Am/G
that you knew the reason why we had to
Am/F# Am/F C G C G
each be lonely. It was just the season.
