I [Bm]feel the way you want me, I [A]see that you are lonely.

[Em]Untethered you’d be, better if you’d [A]only come with me.
[chorus]
One [G]night I will be the [Bm]moon, hanging over you.
[A](Spilling all over your body, [Em]covering all your wounds)
One [G]night I will be the [Bm]star, falling where you are.
[A](Swimming in the deep of my love, [Em]filling your empty heart)
One [G]night, one night, one [Bm]night, one [A]night, one night, one [A]night.
[section 2]
You’ve [Bm]come so close to tasting, now my [A]innocence is breaking.
Like the [Em]ocean in a perfect storm, it [A]makes me want you even more.
I’ve [Bm]never been so jealous, I’ve [A]never felt so helpless.
So [Em]out of breath and hungry for [A]you.

[Em]Darling, don’t [Bm]leave me waiting [A]
[chorus]
One [G]night I will be the [Bm]moon, hanging over you.
