VERSE
 
G
Sweetest surrender of winter
G
She put up her flag, it is waving
Am                                  G
The thunder of summer is rumbling in
G
And I haven't seen you in days
G
And my, how that feeling has changed
      Am                                      G
Oh, I have been homesick for you since we met
Am
I have been homesick for you
 
 
INTRO
 
 
VERSE
G
I've got to take to the sky
G
And I'll tell you what that means for you and I
      Am          G
If I die it's for you
      Am          G
If I die it's for you
 
 
C                     G
I never lived 'til I lived in your light
      Am                       C           D
And my heart never beat like it does at the sight
   C                  G
Of you baby blue, God blessed your life
Am                   C              G
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Am                   C              G
I do not live 'less I live in your light

G
The realest thing I ever felt
G
Was the blood on the floor and the love in your yell
Am                  G
I was a child before
Am
The day that I met Eleanor

G
Kiss of the wind in the hill
 
The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill
Am                          G
Blurry and gray like the roar
Am                                         G
The wheels on the highway, above them I soar
 
G
When I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes
G
My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time
Am                                 G
There's no part of it left to give
Am                                 G
There's no part of it left to give
 
 
 
C                     G
I never lived 'til I lived in your light
      Am                       C           D
And my heart never beat like it does at the sight
   C                  G
Of you baby blue, God blessed your life
Am                   C              G
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Am                   C              G
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Am                       C                 G
I do not live
