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
