  [intro]

  

  C            C         Dm7(4)       Dm7(4)      F(9)        F(9)     C(9)/E  G

    When I was young I spoke like a child, and I saw with a child's eyes

  C             C        Dm7(4)  Dm7(4)  F(9)          F(9)           Gsus  G

    And an open door was to a girl          like the stars are to the sky

  Am           F(9)      Em         Am     F(9)        Em    Gsus    G

    It's funny how the world lives up to      all your expectations

  Dm7               Dm      C(9)/E    C(9)/E  F(9)        F(9)       Gsus      G

    With adventures for the stout of heart,     and the lure of the open spaces

  

  C             C           Dm7(4)    Dm7(4)  F(9)        F(9)        C(9)/E  G

    There's 2 lanes running down this road,    whichever side you're on

  C                C       Dm7(4)   Dm7(4)  F(9)         F(9)        Gsus  G

    Accounts for where you want to go,        or what you're running from

  Am          F(9)     Em    Am     Dm7      C(9)/E    F(9)  F(9)   F(9)  F(9)

    Back when darkness overtook me    on a blind man's curve

  

        C      Dm7(4)  G   G      C      Dm7(4)  G   G

    I relied upon the moon,   I relied upon the moon

        C      Dm7(4)  G       G

    I relied upon the moon and Saint

  

        C      C    Dm7(4)  Dm7(4)   F(9)    F(9)    C(9)/E   G

    Christopher  [instrumental]

    Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes

  C           C        Dm7(4)  Dm7(4)  F(9)    F(9)      Gsus  G

    For being such a stubborn woman      in such stubborn times

  

  C                  C        Dm7(4)  Dm7(4)   F(9)             F(9)    C(9)/E  G

    Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes

  C           C        Dm7(4)  Dm7(4)  F(9)    F(9)      Gsus  G

    For being such a stubborn woman      in such stubborn times

  Am           F(9)          Em     Am     F(9)   Em           Gsus       G

    Now I have run from the arms of lovers, I've run from the eyes of friends

  Dm7(4)    Dm7(4)       C(9)/E   C(9)/E   F(9)   F(9)      Gsus   G   Gsus  G

    I have run from the hands of kindness,  I've run just because I can

  

  C             C             Dm7(4)     Dm7(4)      F(9)       F(9)    C(9)/E  G

    But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman and I see with a woman's eyes

  C             C       Dm7(4)  Dm7(4)  F(9)       F(9)     Gsus      G

    And an open door is to me now         like the saddest of goodbyes

  Am         F(9)      Em      Am      Dm7         C(9)/E     F(9)  F(9)  F(9)  G

    It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve

  

            C    Dm7(4)  G   G      C    Dm7(4)  G   G

    And I rely upon the moon,   I rely upon the moon

        C    Dm7(4)  G       G         C       Dm7   G   G

    I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher

  

        C    Dm7(4)  G   G      C    Dm7(4)  G   Em7

    I rely upon the moon,   I rely upon the moon

        Am   Dm7     G       G         F(9)   F(9)

    I rely upon the moon and Saint Christopher

  C(9)/E    C(9)/E  Dm7   C(9)/E   F(9).

        to  be  my  guide.

  

  

  

  Here's some tab for the intro...where I put asterisks, that means fill in

  a couple extra notes; I wasn't sure which ones to put in.
