Mason Jennings – Sunlight chords

Sunlight by Mason Jennings from the album Blood of Man

Tuned down half a step.

Tabbed by Sam Torok (storok13@gmail.com)



One, two, three, four

GUnderneath the lilac tree, I close my eyes and suddenly
CI'm ten years old and running through, An open field chasing after you
GSounds of summer fill my ears, If I live 10,000 years
CI'll never feel as good as this, Moments before our first kiss

EmThere is nothing to demand, No algebra to understand
Am                           D7Just sunlight on a freckled face
Am                 C          D7And everything in its right place

GSimple things turn magical, Minutes freeze like Popsicles
CAnd drip their seconds down our shirts, I love you so much it hurts
GThere's no such thing as real time, I've been yours and you've been mine
CAnd we've lived ever happily, Everywhere I've been you've been with me

EmThere is nothing to control, No question mark left on our souls
Am                           D7Just sunlight on a freckled face
EmThere is nothing to demand, No politics to understand
Am                            D7Just sunlight on a freckled face
Am                        D7Everything in its right place
Am             C          D7Everything in its right place

(Arpeggiating)
G                                   D7And I want to give you a brand new sky
               G                             D7Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes
                   G                       D7So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real
                G                    D7I want to show you how you make me feel

G                                D7I want to give you a brand new dream
                      G                  D7Where two horses drink from a silver stream
                     G                    D7As the trees catch fire they lift their heads
                                G                D7And bolt together through the forest across our beds

G                                   D7I want to bring you the fields of flowers
            G                 D7I want to build you Eiffel Towers
                          G                     D7Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars
                    G                       D7And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars
Set you free, yeah
