Lyrics

There’s a song that’s in (Bb)side

of my (Ebsus2)soul;

it’s the one that I’ve (Bb)tried

to write (Ebsus2)o ver and (Bb5)o ver a (Ebsus2)gain.

I’m a wake in the (Bb)in

fi nite (Ebsus2)cold;

but you sing to me (Bb)o

ver and (Ebsus2)o ver and (Bb5)o ver a (Ebsus2)gain.

So I (G5)lay my (Gmaj7)head back (C)down,

and I (G5)lift my (Gmaj7)hands and (C)pray

to be (D)on (Em7)ly (D)Yours, (Em7)I (C)pray

to be (D)on (Em7)ly (D)Yours; (Em7)I (Eb)know now You’re my (Ebmaj7)on (Cm6)ly (Gsus2)hope.

Sing to me like the (Bb)song

of the (Ebsus2)stars,

of Your gal ax y (Bb)danc

ing and (Ebsus2)laugh ing and (Bb5)laugh ing a (D7)gain.

When it feels like my (Bb)dreams

are so (Ebsus2)far,

sing to me of the (Bb)plans

that you (Ebsus2)have for me (Bb5)o ver a (D7)gain.

(Ebsus2)gain.

So I (Gsus2)hope.

I give You my des ti (Gm)ny.

I’m giv ing You (Gsus)all of (Gm)me.

I want Your sym pho (D7)ny (A7)sing ing in all that I (D)am.

At the (C)top of my lungs,

I’m (G)giv ing it back.

So I lay my (Gmaj7)head back (C)down,

and I (G5)lift my (Gmaj7)hands and (C)pray

to be (D)on (Em7)ly (D)Yours, (Em7)I (C)pray

to be (D)on (Em7)ly (D)Yours; (Em7)I (C)pray

to be (D)on (Em7)ly (D)Yours; (Em7)I (Eb)know now You’re my (Ebmaj7)on (Cm6)ly (Gm7)hope.

(Gm7)Mm,
