Intro C Em (x2) 
 
Verse 
C                       Em 
Everybody wants to be a star 
             F                             C 
But shooting stars always burn out way too soon 
                              Em 
And the sun is way too hot to hold 
           F                       C 
And always leaves after every afternoon 
            F                C 
So it's not so bad to be the moon 
             F     Fm          C 
No, it's not so bad  to be the moon 
 
             Em                              C 
So don't you dare duck behind the clouds and hide 
         Em                                 C 
You help children dream and you make lovers swoon 
          Em                                      C 
Don't you know you're strong enough to change the tide 
            F                C 
So it's not so bad to be the moon 
             F     Fm          C 
No, it's not so bad  to be the moon 
 
     Em                              C 
Even poets say there's magic in your shine 
      Em                                     C 
Every night the whole wide world looks up to you 
       Em                                C 
And to stare at the sun would leave them blind 
            F                C 
So it's not so bad to be the moon 
            F     Fm          C 
No it's not so bad  to be the moon 
 
Interlude 
F  C  x3

It's not so bad  to be the moon 
 
             Em                              C 
So don't you dare duck behind the clouds and hide 
         Em                                 C 
You help children dream and you make lovers swoon 
          Em                                      C 
Don't you know you're strong enough to change the tide 
            F                C 
So it's not so bad to be the moon 
             F                C 
No, it's not so bad to be the moon 
             F                C 
No, it's not so bad to be the moon 
             F     Fm          C     Em 
No, it's not so bad  to be the moon 
                C  Em 
It's not so bad

But shooting stars always burn out way too soon
