Jason Robert Brown – Stars And The Moon chords

Chords:
Transpose:
I can't promise it's in the same key as Jason wrote it, as I don't have the sheet music 
a piano. But I wanted to play it so I've been singing with these chords and I really 
the sound. It's perfect in the lower soprano range as I have it tabbed here. 
Hopefully you'll like it, too!


D AmI met a man without a dollar to his name
C Dwho had no traits of any value but his smile
D AmI met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
C Dwho was content to let life pass him for a while
Am Emand I was sure that all I ever wanted
C Amwas a life like the movie stars led
Em Aand he kissed me right here, and he said
D"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
Gand a promise I'll never go.
DI'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
Gand the strength that will help you grow.
DI'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better
G Athan any Hollywood plot."
A DAnd I thought, 'You know, I'd rather have a yacht.'
D AmI met a man who lived his life out on the road
C Dwho left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim
D AmI met a man whose fire and passion always showed
C Dwho asked if I could spare a week to ride with him
Am Embut I was sure that all I'd ever wanted
C Amwas a life that was scripted and planned
Em AAnd he said, "But you don't understand...
DI'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
Gand a river beneath your feet.
DI'll give you days full of dreams if you travel my way
Gand a summer you can't repeat.
DI'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,
G ANo strings, just warm summer rain."
A DAnd I thought, 'You know, I'd rather have champagne.'
D AmI met a man who had a fortune in the bank
C Dwho had retired at age thirty, set for life.
D AmI met a man and didn't know which stars to thank,
C Dand then he asked one day if I would be his wife.
Am EmAnd I looked up, and all I could think of
C Amwas the life I had dreamt I would live.
Em AAnd I said to him, 'What will you give?'
D"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay,
Gand a fur and a diamond ring.
DAnd we'll be married in Spain on my yacht today
Gand we'll honeymoon in Beijing.
DAnd you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas
G Ain Nice and Paris in June."
Aand I thought, "Okay."
CAnd I took a breath,
Aand I got my yacht,
Cand the years went by,
Amand it never changed,
Emand it never grew,
Amand I never dreamed...
EmAnd I woke one day,
Cand I looked around,
Aand I thought, 'My God....
DI'll never have the moon.'
