Intro: A D/F# A/E Esus
E A
If our lives were a movie
E7/G#
I'd know what to do
A7/G D/F#
I'd write every scene with my heart
Bm7/F Asus/E A/E
An R.K.O. Picture that stars me and you
F#m/D# Bm7/D Esus
And this time I'd learn my part
E7 A
I'd paint you some scenery
C#m/G#
We'd sing, and we'd dance
A7/G D/F#
From morning to late afternoon
Dm/F
And when that scene is done
A/E F#m
Then I'd take down the sun
Bm7 E7sus
And for you darling, I'll hang the moon
A D/A A7
D/A A
We'd wake up to sunshine
C#m/G#
Like lights on a set
C#m7/G D/F#
You'd reach out and there'd be my hand
Dm/F A/E
All day there'd be music, a perfect duet
D#m7 Bm7/D
That flows from the white baby grand
E7 A
At night when you're frightened
C#m/G#
I'll play you to sleep
C#m7/G D/F#
That melody from Clair de Lune.
Dm/F
And to fill up the sky,
F7 A/E F#m
Past the clouds I would fly,
Bm7 E7sus E7 D/A
And for you darling, I'll hang the moon.
E/G# E/F# E
Hang the moon forever
F#m C#m
So you'd never fear the darkness
D
The darkness I've known
Bm
Moon, protect Norma Jean
F#m Dm9
So that she'll never be alone
E7sus E7
Never alone
A
If our lives were a movie
C#m/G#
Then you'd be the star
C#m7/G D/F#
'Cause now I know the role I should play
Bm7/F
To applaud all you do
A/E
All the things that you are
D#m7 Bm7/D
And just be there on opening day
E7 A
I know in the past
C#m/G#
That the lines were all wrong
C#m7/G D/F#
And the music was never in tune
Dm/F F7 A/E F#m
But the wish that I make is for just one more take
Bm7 E7sus E7 A D/A
Because then darling I'll hang the moon
A D/A
A E/G# E/F# E
I'll hang the moon above you
F#m F#m9 C#m
So that you'll never fear the darkness
D
The darkness of night
Bm
Then you'll know I love you
F#m D6
Each time that you feel the light
Esus
Feel the light
E A
If our lives were a movie
C#m/G#
Then I'd cut away
C#m7/G D/F#
All the moments when I wasn't there
Bm7/F
The scenes that are happy
A/E
Are all that will stay
D Bm7 Bm/E
The rest will dissolve into air
E7 A
As the final reel ends
C#m/G#
We might both shed a tear
A7/G D/F#
For the ending is coming up soon
Dm/F F7
But when the screen fades to black
A/E F#m
We can smile and look back
Bm7 E7sus E7 A
And for you darling I'll hang the moon
