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
