[INTRO:] C F G F G C
[VERSE 1:]
I was in some timeless place
F G Timeless face of my embrace F G Held empty air and empty space F G C All on a sunny day
[VERSE 2:]
She lived by the bounding main
F G To Baltimore I took a plane F G An east coast lady lit my flame F G C F C All on a sunny day
[VERSE 3:]
I was in some dreamless sleep
F G Where angels watch as lovers leap F G Some of them landed on their feet F G C Letting the lifeline stray
[VERSE 4:]
She was like the breath of spring
F G Where flowers grow and robins sing F G Keeping me from the pouring rain F G F Em G C All on a summer's day
[CHORUS:]
F There's a lifeline that I know G C And it holds me back and lets me go F G C Whatever I do, I don't let my lifeline stray
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F G F G F G C F C
[VERSE 5:]
So it goes as lifetimes pass
F G From heart to mind and back again F G My restlessness becomes a flame F G C Letting my lifeline show
[VERSE 6:]
She stood by the boundless tide
F G Afraid to ride, afraid to hide F G Letting her conscience be her guide F G C F C Needing a lifeline so
[VERSE 7:]
I was in some aimless state
F G Where lovers meet while angels wait F G With gifts of time they hesitate F G C F C All on a sunny day
[VERSE 8:]
She lived by the bounding main
F G From Baltimore, I took a train F G An east coast lady lit my flame F G F Em G C All on a summer's day
[CHORUS:]
F There's a lifeline in my soul G C And it holds me back and lets me go F C I'm in love, so I've been told F G C Letting the lifeline stay
[CHORUS:]
F I've got a heartline in the air G C And if you listen for me, you'll find me there F G C Whatever I do, I don't let my lifeline stray
