Verse 1
A F#mThere's been something following me all my life
ESome protection that I can't define
DHow I earned it, not a clue
A F#mThey said, "It's a universal stars align
EIt's a message from the great divine"
DBut it didn't quite ring true
 
Pre-Chorus
Bm DLike a hope I couldn't quite place
ETil the day I saw your face
 
Chorus
AYou were somewhere in the sunlight
F#mIn the corners of my young mind
ELittle whispers in a daydream
Little voice that always saved me
DYou were hiding in plain sight
ANow I see you every morning
F#mIn your unencumbered glory
EBut even when you hadn't found me
You were right there all around me
DAnd I've been on my way to you
AI loved you long before I knew you
 
Verse 2
ABack then when you were bright-eyed
F#mAnd too young to care
EI wonder if you ever left me there
DLike an unexpected breeze
A F#mI hope now that you and I are intertwined
EYou can feel me with you all the time
DCause that's where I wanna be
 
Pre-Chorus
Bm DYou're the hope I couldn't place
E/Ab ETil the day I saw your face
 
Chorus
AYou were somewhere in the sunlight
F#mIn the corners of my young mind
ELittle whispers in a daydream
Little voice that always saved me
DYou were hiding in plain sight
ANow I see you every morning
F#mIn your unencumbered glory
EBut even when you hadn't found me
You were right there all around me
DAnd I've been on my way to you
A F#mI loved you long before I knew you....
E DBefore I knew....
 
Outro
AAnd when we run out of mornings
F#mI'll remember all your glory
EAnd your love will always ground me
Even when you're not around me
DAnd I'll still be singing to you
Dm AI'll love you longer than I knew you
