The Moon and St Christopher Mary Black (Mary Chapin-Carpenter)

Intro

When I was young I spoke like a child I     saw with a child's eyes
  G                  Am                      C                  Em7 D
And an open door was to     a girl like      the stars are to the sky
        G             Am                          C                D
It's funny how the world lives up to     all your expectations
     Em     Cmaj7    Em7        Em        C        Em7      D
With adventures for the stout of heart      and the lure of the open spaces
  Am                     Em7                          C                 D
There's two lanes running down this road
  G                        Am
And whichever side you're  on
   C                        Em7 D
Accounts for where you want to go
  G                     Am
And what you 're running from
     C                    D
Back when darkness overtook me   on a blind man's curve
Em      Cmaj7 Em7    Em          C      Em7        C

I relied upon the moon
  G        Am      D    D/F#
I relied upon the moon
   G       Am       D  D/F#
I relied upon the moon and St Christopher
   G       Am       D                G    ( as intro )

Now I've paid my dues 'cause I have owed them     but I've paid a price sometimes
 For being such a stubborn woman     in such stubborn times
I have run from the arms of lo         I have run from the eyes of friends
 I have run from the hands of kindness   I have run just because I can

But now I've grown and I speak like a woman
And I see with a woman's eyes  and an open door is to  me now like
 The saddest of goodbyes  but it's to late for turning back
And I pray for the heart and the nerve

I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St Christopher
  G     Am       D                G     Am  D
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon and St Christopher
   G    Am       D                 Cmaj7  Em7
To be my guide
           Am    G
