Oh cruel moon you shine so bright
C D
And act like everythings all right
G D
You shine as if there's nothing wrong
C D G
You shine on down like she's not gone
G D
Oh cruel moon don't make me see
C D
Where our sweet love scene use to be
G D
For it was you who watched our kiss
C D G
Please don't lite up the night like this
C G
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
Em D
You'll bring me to her memory
C G
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
Em D C
You never had a broken heart
SOLO
G D
Oh cruel moon you say her name
C D
And act as if your not to blame
G D
You know it hurts me to recall
C D G
Or don't you even care at all
C G
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
Em D
You'll bring me to her memory
C G
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
Em D C
You never had a broken heart
G D
Oh cruel moon so high above
C D
You must have never lost your love
G D
If only you would be my friend
C D G
And hide your face from me again
