[Estrofa]
        A9             D        
I would shun the light, share in
           G 
 evening's cool and quiet 
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet 
C7                   B7 
Who would trade that hum of night 
    D         G         Em 
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight 
                A9 
But whose heart would not take flight
 
But whose heart would not take flight 
D                  G 
Betray the moon as acolyte 
C7                    B7 
On first and fierce affirming sight 
   D         G         Em 
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Estribillo]
                       D 
I had been lost to you sunlight 
                            
And flew like a moth to you,
 A7            Em 
 sunlight, oh, sunlight 
And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight

Oh, but it is sunlight
[Estrofa]
        A9 
All the tales the same 
D               G 
Told before and told again 
C7                    B7 
A soul that’s born in cold and rain 
      D         G         Em 
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight 
            A9 
And at last can grant a name 
D                 G 
To a buried and a burning flame 
   C7             B7 
As love and its decisive pain 
       D         G         Em 
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Estribillo]
                          D 
All that was shown to me, sunlight 
                                  
There's somethin' foreknown to me,
 A7          Em 
 sunlight, oh sunlight 
There's somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight 
                 B7 
Oh, your love is sunlight 
                 C 
Oh, your love is sunlight 
G         Em 
But it is sunlight 
                 B7 
Oh, your love is sunlight 
                 C 
Oh, your love is sunlight 
G         Em 
But it is sunlight, sunlight

Oh, all these colors fade for you
 (only) 
Oh, all these colors fade for you (only) 
Am   B7  Em         D         G 
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight

[Estrofa]
                A9 
Each day, you'd rise with me 
D                 G 
Know that I would gladly be 
C7                  B7 
The Icarus to your certainty

Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight 
          A9 
Strap the wings to me 
D               G 
Death trap clad happily 
C7                   B7 
With wax melted, I'd meet the sea 
      D         G         Em 
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Estribillo]
