Chords

[Intro] Em [Verse 1]
        A9             D                   G
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet

C7                   B7
Who would trade that hum of night

    D         G         Em
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

                A9
But whose heart would not take flight

D                  G
Betray the moon as acolyte

C7                    B7
On first and fierce affirming sight

   D         G         Em
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
                       D
I had been lost to you sunlight

                             A7            Em
And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight

                  B7
Oh, your love is sunlight

                 C
Oh, your love is sunlight

G             Em
Oh, but it is sunlight
[Verse 2]
        A9
All the tales the same

D               G
Told before and told again

C7                    B7
A soul that’s born in cold and rain

      D         G         Em
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

            A9
And at last can grant a name

D                 G
To a buried and a burning flame

   C7             B7
As love and its decisive pain

       D         G         Em
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
                          D
All that was shown to me, sunlight

                                   A7          Em
There's somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight

                 B7
Oh, your love is sunlight

                 C
Oh, your love is sunlight

G         Em
But it is sunlight

                 B7
Oh, your love is sunlight

                 C
Oh, your love is sunlight

G         Em
But it is sunlight, sunlight
[Bridge]
    C     D    G      Bm7
Oh, all these colors fade for you (only)

Am   B7  Em         D         G
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight

    C     D     G         Bm7
Oh, all these colors fade for you (only)

Am   B7  Em       D          G
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
[Interlude] Em [Verse 3]
                A9
Each day, you'd rise with me

D                 G
Know that I would gladly be

C7                  B7
The Icarus to your certainty

       D         G         Em
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

          A9
Strap the wings to me

D               G
Death trap clad happily

C7                   B7
With wax melted, I'd meet the sea

      D         G         Em
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
