Verse 1:
    F                              Am
Swept up in a rush  // when your eye caught mine
          A#                            C
It all happened so quickly // yet it took a lifetime

Pre-Chorus 1:
             A#                       Am                    A# C
I’ve been grasping at light but it slips through my fingers
             A#                  Am               A#   C
All your goodness evades me and selfishness lingers


Chorus 1:
   F             Am
But everything I thought I knew
              A#                 C
Fades like a shadow flees from the rising sun...


Verse 2:
            F            Am
Forbidden love // you won’t let me be
                 A#                       C
Though I’ve been a faithful servant // for the enemy
                 F              Am
You captured my heart // like a prisoner of war
                         A#               C
Though I fought in the frontlines // against you before


Pre-Chorus 2:
             A#                   Am                A# C
You’re in endless pursuit, I’ve been choosing to roam
           A#             Am               A# C
You won’t rest until my wandering heart is home


Chorus 2:
        F                    Am
But everything I thought I knew
                A#                  C
Fades like a shadow flees from the rising sun
         F                    Am
I’ve realized I don’t deserve you
                         A#                       C
But there’s nothing I wouldn’t trade just to be with you


Bridge:
      F
I know it seems
            Am
Foolish to hang on the belief
                A#
That someone as glorious as you
                   C
Would care about someone like me
             F
And yet the impossibility
             Am
Is realized in this mystery
                   A#
That someone like you could love
            C
Someone like me


Pre-Chorus 3:
                Am                  C                A# C
I’ve been grasping at love but you’re giving it freely
            Am                      C             A# C
You have captured my heart, I’m at home when you hold me


Interlude:
A#                                C
(You’re all I ever wanted but / I just didn’t know it yet
A#                                 C
You’ve won me over, you’ve / broken all my walls down
A#                                C
You’re all I ever wanted but / I just didn’t know it yet
A#                                C
You’ve won me over, my heart is yours.)


Chorus:
    F                          Am
Everything that I thought I knew--
       A#                   C
I surrender it over, only to be with you
       F                           Am
This traitor has never been more free
                            A#                     C
‘cause there’s nothing you wouldn’t // trade just to be with me
                      A#                      C
There’s nothing you wouldn’t // trade just to be with me
