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


[Final Chorus]
                 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
                 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


[Outro]
Em
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
