 ...  He sees her at the same time every night 
                            G
      at the Mexican discotheque
      She gives him french kisses
                            C
                        He gives her french cigarettes
                        They sit at the same table every time
                        The lights are low But their eyes shine
                            G
                      Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands
                      She keeps him outta fights Holds on to his hand
 
 
         F                          G
    He whispers slowly  ....      "tonight's the night"
         C                          F
        Months of planning so it's gotta be right
                                    G
        Under the table her bag is busting at the seams
         C                          F
    She made   sure    to   bring   everything
 
 
         C
    Moonlighting they're leaving everything
         G
    Moonlighting they're losing all their friends
         C
    Moonlighting it's the only way
         G
  It's frightening but it means they'll stay
         F
      Together they're gonna make it 
         C               G

 ... His blue Morris van is parked in an alley 
                          G
      Just by Montague street
      His friend Eddie he did the respray
                          C
                   So he couldn't drive it all last week
                   And it cost most of the money That he had saved up
                          G
        To pay Eddie's receipt But he figures it's worth it
        Cause the disguise is a must
                          C
            When they go missing They're gonna look for the van first
 
 
         F                            G
   She whispers slowly:  "it'll be alright"
         C                            F
      I took some  cash  from   my   building society
                                      G
 And my monthly check  came in  just right
         C                            F
      If only they knew they weren't giving it away
 
 
         C
    Moonlighting they're leaving everything
         G
    Moonlighting they're losing all their friends
         C
    Moonlighting it's the only way
         G
  It's frightening but it means they'll stay
         F
      Together they're gonna make it 
         C               G

 ...  9:15 Monday morning at the printing works
                                       A
      The boss notices someone's not clocked in
      And the water department of the council offices has a message
                                       D
                                That Mrs. Park's daughter is missing
                                Meanwhile the Carlisle turnoff of the m6 motorway
                                Drinking cold black coffee eating hot cup cakes
                                       A
                                 She stares at him with his beard unshaved
                                 Wonders at his powers of staying awake
 
 
             G                             A
        He whispers slowly: "you did just fine"
             D                             G
      They shared  the  driving    all  through the night
                                                          A
        She laughs "my mother will have lost her mind" ...
             D                                 G
 We're only ten miles to Gretna they're three hundred behind
 
 
         D
    Moonlighting they're leaving everything
         A
    Moonlighting they're losing all their friends
         D
    Moonlighting it's the only way
         A
  It's frightening but it means they'll stay
         G
      Together they're gonna make it 
         D               A
