GD
Oh cruel moon you shine so bright
CD
And act like everythings all right
GD
You shine as if there's nothing wrong
CDG
You shine on down like she's not gone
GD
Oh cruel moon don't make me see
CD
Where our sweet love scene use to be
GD
For it was you who watched our kiss
CDG
Please don't lite up the night like this
CG
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
EmD
You'll bring me to her memory
CG
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
EmDC
You never had a broken heart
SOLO
GD
Oh cruel moon you say her name
CD
And act as if your not to blame
GD
You know it hurts me to recall
CDG
Or don't you even care at all
CG
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
EmD
You'll bring me to her memory
CG
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
EmDC
You never had a broken heart
GD
Oh cruel moon so high above
CD
You must have never lost your love
GD
If only you would be my friend
CDG
And hide your face from me again
