*couldn't decide if Eb or Eb7 sounded better, i think they both fit

Intro: Gm

         C7            F                   Bb             Eb7*     
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
                     D7
Who would trade that hum of night
    F         Bb        Gm
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
                      C7               F       
But whose heart would not take flight?
                   Bb       Eb7*
Betray the moon as acolyte
                     D7
On first and fierce affirming sight
   F         Bb        Gm
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

[Chorus]
                        F
I had been lost to you, sunlight
                             C             Gm
And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight, oh
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight

[Verse 2]
        C7             F
Oh, the tales the same
                Bb         Eb7*
Told before and told again
                      D7
A soul that’s born in cold and rain
      F         Bb        Gm
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
            C7           F
At last can grant a name
                  Bb
To a buried and a burning flame
   Eb7*           D7
As love and its decisive pain
       F         Bb        Gm
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

[Chorus]
                          F
All that was shown to me, sunlight
                               C            Gm
Was something foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight, sunlight

[Bridge]
Eb  F     Bb                  Cm D7   
All these colors fade for you only
Gm       F          Bb
Carry me slowly, my sunlight
Eb  F     Bb                  Cm D7   
All these colors fade for you only
Gm       F          Bb       Gm
Carry me slowly, my sunlight



[Verse 3]
               C7           F
Each day, you rise with me
                  Bb        Eb7*
Know that I would gladly be
                   D7
The Icarus to your certainty
       F         Bb        Gm
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
          C7         F
Strap the wing to me
                Bb      Eb7*
Death trap clad happily
                     D7
With wax melted, I’d meet the sea
      F         Bb        Gm
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

[Chorus]
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight, sunlight
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight
                 D7
Oh, your love is sunlight
                 Cm
Oh, your love is sunlight
Bb        Gm
But it is sunlight


[Outro]
Gm
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
