Intro: Gm 
 
Verse 1:
        C9             F                   Bb
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
Eb7                   D7
Who would trade that hum of night
    F         Bb         Gm
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
                C9
But whose heart would not take flight
F                  Bb
Betray the moon as acolyte
Eb7                    D7
On first and fierce affirming sight
   F         Bb         Gm
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
 
Chorus:
                       F
I had been lost to you sunlight

And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight

Oh, your love is sunlight

All the tales the same
F               Bb
Told before and told again
Eb7                    D7
a soul that’s born in cold and rain
      F         Bb         Gm
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
            C9
And at last can grant a name
F                 Bb
To a buried and a burning flame
   Eb7             D7
As love and its decisive pain
       F         Bb         Gm
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
 
Chorus:
                          F
All that was shown to me, sunlight

Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight

                C9
Each day, you'd rise with me
F                 Bb
Know that I would gladly be
Eb7                  D7
The Icarus to your certainty

Strap the wings to me

Death trap clad happily

With wax melted, I'd meet the sea
