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

[Pre-Chorus]
Am G/B C
Like a hope I couldn't place
D/F#
'Til the day I saw your face

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

[Verse 2]
G D/F# Em
Back then when you were bright-eyed and too young to care
D
I wonder if you ever felt me there
C
Like an unexpected breeze
G D/F# Em
I hope now that you and I are intertwined
D
You can feel me with you all the time
C
'Cause that's where I wanna be

[Pre-Chorus]
Am G/B C
You're the hope I couldn't place
D/F#
'Til the day I saw your face

[Chorus]
G
You were somewhere in the sunlight
D/F# Em
In the corners of my young mind
