Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

C majorC          Cmaj7Cmaj7     Am7Am7       C6C6
I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine
   FF      E minorEm     DmDm
made excuses for not hanging 'round
   G+G      FF       E minorEm      DmDm  Dm7Dm7
I've squandered emotions on the slightest of notions
     G+G     G7G7      C majorC
and the first easy loving I've found
C majorC      Cmaj7Cmaj7      Am7Am7      C6C6
Soon all the good times, the gay times and play times
   FF      E minorEm     DmDm  Dm7Dm7
like colors run together and fade
   G+G     FF     E minorEm      DmDm
Oh Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me
   G+G     FF     E minorEm      DmDm
and keep me from blowing away

[instrumental break then modulate to D MajorD]
     D MajorD          Dmaj7Dmaj7     Bm7Bm7     D6D6
There've been times that I've trembled and my mind's remembered
   G+G       F# minorF#m   E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
the days that just crumbled away
   A augmentedA      G+G       F# minorF#m     E minorEm
With nothing to show but these lines that I know
   A augmentedA           D MajorD
are beginning to show in my face
  D MajorD       Dmaj7Dmaj7      Bm7Bm7      D6D6
So Lord if you're listenin' you know I'm no christian
   G+G        F# minorF#m   E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
and I ain't got much coming to me
       A augmentedA     G+G     F# minorF#m      E minorEm
But won't you send down some sunshine, throw out a lifeline
   G+G     A augmentedA     D MajorD
And keep me from blowing away
 A augmentedA     G+G     F# minorF#m      E minorEm
Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me,
   G+G    A augmentedA      G+G   D MajorD
