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

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
