[Intro]
[Em]
 
[Verse1]
I would [A]shun the light, [D]
share in evening's [G]cool and quiet
[C]Who would trade that [B]hum of night
For [D]sunlight, [G]sunlight, [Em]sunlight
But whose heart would[A]would not take flight
[D]Betray the moon as [G]acolyte
[C]On first and fierce aff[B]affirming sight
Of [D]sunlight, [G]sunlight, [Em]sunlight
 
 
[Chorus]
I had been lost to you s[D]sunlight
And flew like a moth to
you, [A]sunlight, oh, [Em]sunlight
Oh, your love is s[B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is s[C]sunlight
[G]Oh, but it is [Em]sunlight
 
 
[Verse2]
All the t[A]tales the same
[D]Told before and [G]told again
[C]A soul that’s born in [B]cold and rain
Knows [D]sunlight, [G]sunlight, [Em]sunlight
And at last can gr[A]grant a name
[D]To a buried and a [G]burning flame
As l[C]love and its de[B]decisive pain
Oh, my [D]sunlight, [G]sunlight, [Em]sunlight
 
 
[Chorus]
All that was shown to me, [D]sunlight
There's somethin' foreknown
to me, [A]sunlight, oh [Em]sunlight
Oh, your love is [B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is [C]sunlight
[G]But it is [Em]sunlight
Oh, your love is [B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is [C]sunlight
[G]But it is [Em]sunlight, sunlight
 
 
[Bridge]
Oh, [C]all th[D]ese c[G]olors f[Bm7]ade for you (only)
[Am]Hold [B]me, [Em]carry me sl[D]slowly, my s[G]sunlight
Oh, [C]all th[D]these co[G]colors fade [Bm7]for you (only)
[Am]Hold [B]me, [Em]carry me [D]slowly, my [G]sunlight
 
 
[Interlude]
[Em]
 
[Verse3]
Each day, you'd [A]rise with me
[D]Know that I would [G]gladly be
[C]The Icarus to your c[B]certainty
Oh, my [D]sunlight, [G]sunlight, [Em]sunlight
Strap the [A]wings to me
[D]Death trap clad h[G]happily
[C]With wax melted, I'd [B]meet the sea
Under [D]sunlight, [G]sunlight, [Em]sunlight
 
 
[Finalchorus]
Oh, your love is [B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is [C]sunlight
[G]But it is [Em]sunlight
Oh, your love is [B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is [C]sunlight
[G]But it is [Em]sunlight
Oh, your love is [B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is [C]sunlight
[G]But it is [Em]sunlight
Oh, your love is [B7]sunlight
Oh, your love is [C]sunlight
[G]But it is [Em]sunlight
 
 
[Outro]
[Em]Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
