G D Em C Am



Verse:
        G              D            Em
Thereʼs been something following me all my life
                       D
Some protection that I canʼt define
                       C
How I earned it, not a clue
     G             D         Em
They said, "Itʼs a universal stars align
                        D
Itʼs a message from the great divine"
                         C
But it didnʼt quite ring true

Pre-chorus:
       Am              C
Like a hope I couldnʼt place
         Am             D
ʼTil the day I saw your face

Chorus:
                          G
You were somewhere in the sunlight
       D             Em
In the corners of my young mind
                     D
Little whispers in a daydream
                         D
Little voice that always saved me
                         C
You were hiding in plain sight
                    G
Now I see you every morning
        D            Em
In your unencumbered glory
                         D
But even when you hadnʼt found me
                         D
You were right there all around me
                           C
And Iʼve been on my way to you
                          G
I loved you long before I knew you

Verse:
     G
Back then when you were bright-eyed
        Em
And too young to care
                     D
I wonder if you ever felt me there
                   C
Like an unexpected breeze
  G             D             Em
I hope now that you and I are intertwined
                         D
You can feel me with you all the time
                            C
ʼCause thatʼs where I wanna be

Pre-chorus:
           Am              C
Youʼre the hope I couldnʼt place
         Am             D
ʼTil the day I saw your face

Chorus:
                          G
You were somewhere in the sunlight
       D             Em
In the corners of my young mind
                     D
Little whispers in a daydream
                         D
Little voice that always saved me
                         C
You were hiding in plain sight
                    G
Now I see you every morning
        D            Em
In your unencumbered glory
                         D
But even when you hadnʼt found me
                         D
You were right there all around me
                           C
And Iʼve been on my way to you
                          G
I loved you long before I knew you

Outro:
                       G
And when we run out of mornings
     D                 Em
Iʼll remember all your glory
                          D
And your love will always ground me
                     D
Even when youʼre not around me
                             C
And Iʼll still be singing to you
                            G
Iʼll love you longer than I knew you
