C/G  F  G


Verse:

          C/G                          Fmaj7/C
Leave the dishes in the sink don't overthink it
      G                    C/G     Fmaj7/C
Close up the brokenhearted piano
C/G             C/E             Fmaj7/C
Join me on the porch if you can swing it
G                         C/G   E7
Let's dream an ocean in Ohio

Am                                Dm
You've been working so hard I can feel it
G                                     C/G   E7
The clean and honest sweat upon your skin
Am                            Dm
I wanna see the rosy light on your face
        G                      D            G
Is this evening free or did it cost us everything


CHORUS:

          C/G
It's our favorite time of light
                Fmaj7
Just before the day kisses the night
            Am
You see the redwing blackbirds fly
            D7
The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
             C/G
And when the day is bending low
            Fmaj7
And rolling fields begin to glow
              Am
Feels like we traveled all this way
        D7
Just so I could hear you say
          Fmaj7
It's our favorite
    G                C/G        F  G   C/G      F G
Our favorite time of light


VERSE:

C/G                               Fmaj7/C
Can you still hear those children singing?
G                               C/G   Fmaj7/C
Remember Jesus Loves Me This I Know
C/G                     C/E        Fmaj7/C
Now there's just a lone blue heron flying
G                    C/G
Dreaming an ocean in Ohio


CHORUS:

          C/G
It's our favorite time of light
                F
Just before the day kisses the night
            Am
You see the redwing blackbirds fly
            D7
The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
            C/G
The moon is waiting in the wings
                 F
Dreamin' up some midnight song to sing
      Am
And I know we'll be okay
     D7
Everytime I hear you say
          F
It's our favorite
    G                 C/G     F  G   C/G   F G
Our favorite time of light


VERSE:

C/G                                        Fmaj7/C
The dreams I've dreamed I give them all to you now
G                                       C/G    Fmaj7/C
 I'm not really sure what shape they're in
C/G                  C/E           Fmaj7/C
Maybe they were all just too expensive
G                           C/G   E7
Maybe after dark we'll try again
Am                                 Dm
So add this to your list of simple beauties
G                                 C/G  E7
I know we're gonna miss it when we go
Am                                      Dm
While barren fields undress their gentle mysteries
G                    C/G
We dream an ocean in Ohio

CHORUS:

          C/G
It's our favorite time of light
                F
Just before the day kisses the night
            Am
You see the redwing blackbirds fly
            D7
The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
          C/G
When they lay me down at last
         F
And this life is finally past
     Am
Just remember me this way
    D7
And don't forget to say
          F
It's our favorite
    G                C/G    F  G
Our favorite time of light
    G                C/G    F  G
Our favorite time of light
