Chords with lyrics

FF            G+G
the sun reflected in the back of my eye.

FF                G+G
 I knocked my head against the sky.

   Bb majorBb             C majorC
the dragonflies are busy buzzing me.

  Bb majorBb              C majorC
a seahorse as if we were in the sea.

FF                 G+G
half way from coal, half way to diamond.

FF                 G+G
my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.

Bb majorBb            C majorC
gathering as far as I can reach.

Bb majorBb               C majorC
perched up on the precipice and this is what I've seen.

G minorGm               FF    C majorC
this is all I want, it's all I need.

G minorGm              FF   C majorC
this is all I am, it's everything.

G minorGm               FF   C majorC
this is all I want, it's all I need.

FF             G+G
a bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree.

FF              G+G
doctorate in science and the theologians dream.

   Bb majorBb                C majorC
the dragonflies are trying to lecture me.

Bb majorBb               C majorC
a seahorse as if we were in the sea.

G minorGm                 FF   C majorC
but this is all I want, it's all I need.

G minorGm              FF   C majorC
this is all I am, it's everything.

G minorGm               FF   C majorC
this is all I want, it's all I need.

INSTRUMENTAL

FF         G+G
beat a drum for me like a butterfly wing.

FF             G+G
tropical storm across the ocean.

Bb majorBb                   C majorC
but don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know

Bb majorBb                    C majorC
but don't forget we're just halfway from home.


G minorGm               FF    C majorC
this is all I want, it's all I need.

G minorGm              FF   C majorC
this is all I am, it's everything.

G minorGm               FF   C majorC
this is all I want, it's all I need.
