Am G Am Em Dm F G Am


[Verse 1]
Am          G
We left the others
       Am     Em
In the fading light
Dm              F
Walked up that old road
     G           Am
On a warm summer night
    Am            G
You said let's go higher
          Am               Em
There's a good chance that soon
Dm           F       G      Am
We'll get to see the rising moon

[Verse 2]
Am                  G
When we reached the quarry
         Am       Em
We could feel the breeze
   Dm            F
We stood there a moment
G             Am
Searching the trees
     Am           G
Then suddenly, we saw it
     Am      Em
That big red glow
Dm          F
I took your hand
        G          Am
And you didn't let go

[Chorus]
    Am                    G
Oh  my poor heart jumped out of my chest
     Dm      Em           F                Am
Yeah my poor heart jumped right out of my chest
    Am                    G
And my poor heart jumped out of my chest
     Dm      Em                  F         Am
Yeah my poor heart jumped right out of my chest

[Verse 3]
         Am               G
Well the moon changed its colour
      Am          Em
As it rose in the sky
       Dm           F
And we changed each other
      G               Am
Under heaven's bright eye
        Am        G
I might live to a hundred
  Am        Em
I might die soon
         Dm       F        G      Am
But I'll never forget that rising moon

[Chorus]
    Am                    G
Oh  my poor heart jumped out of my chest
     Dm      Em           F                Am
Yeah my poor heart jumped right out of my chest
    Am                    G
And my poor heart jumped out of my chest
     Dm      Em                  F         Am
Yeah my poor heart jumped right out of my chest

[Bridge]
           Dm
Now you've gone
                           Am
And left me staring at the rising moon
                  Dm
Oh, my heartbeats strong
                          E
Sometimes I wish it would stop

But it keeps pumpin on!

My whole heart jumped out of my chest
