CCmaj7Am7C6
I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine
FEmDm
made excuses for not hanging 'round
GFEmDmDm7
I've squandered emotions on the slightest of notions
GG7C
and the first easy loving I've found
CCmaj7Am7C6
Soon all the good times, the gay times and play times
FEmDmDm7
like colors run together and fade
GFEmDm
Oh Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me
GFEmDm
and keep me from blowing away
Instrumental break then modulate to DDDmaj7Bm7D6
There've been times that I've trembled and my mind's remembered
GGbmEmEm7
the days that just crumbled away
AGGbmEm
With nothing to show but these lines that I know
AD
are beginning to show in my face
DDmaj7Bm7D6
So Lord if you're listenin' you know I'm no christian
GGbmEmEm7
and I ain't got much coming to me
AGGbmEm
But won't you send down some sunshine, throw out a lifeline
GAD
And keep me from blowing away
AGGbmEm
Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me,
GAGD
and keep me from blowing away
