Verse 1:
        A               A             Em
There's been something following me all my life
                       A
Some protection that I can't define
                       E
How I earned it, not a clue
     A              A          Em
They said, "It's a universal stars align
                        A
It's a message from the great divine"
                         E
But it didn't quite ring true

Pre-Chorus:
       Em               E
Like a hope I couldn't place
         Em              A
'Til the day I saw your face

Chorus:
                          A
You were somewhere in the sunlight
       A              Em
In the corners of my young mind
                     A
Little whispers in a daydream
                         A
Little voice that always saved me
                         E
You were hiding in plain sight
                    A
Now I see you every morning
        A             Em
In your unencumbered glory
                         A
But even when you hadn't found me
                         A
You were right there all around me
                           E
And I've been on my way to you
                          A
I loved you long before I knew you

Verse 2:
     A
Back then when you were bright-eyed
        Em
And too young to care
                     A
I wonder if you ever felt me there
                   E
Like an unexpected breeze
  A              A              Em
I hope now that you and I are intertwined
                         A
You can feel me with you all the time
                            E
'Cause that's where I wanna be

Pre-Chorus:
           Em               E
You're the hope I couldn't place
         Em              A
'Til the day I saw your face

Chorus:
                          A
You were somewhere in the sunlight
       A              Em
In the corners of my young mind
                     A
Little whispers in a daydream
                         A
Little voice that always saved me
                         E
You were hiding in plain sight
                    A
Now I see you every morning
        A             Em
In your unencumbered glory
                         A
But even when you hadn't found me
                         A
You were right there all around me
                           E
And I've been on my way to you
                          A
I loved you long before I knew you

Outro:
                       A
And when we run out of mornings
     A                  Em
I'll remember all your glory
                          A
And your love will always ground me
                     A
Even when you're not around me
                             E
And I'll still be singing to you
                            A
I'll love you longer than I knew you
