C Cmaj7 Am7 C6
i’ve spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine
F Em Dm
made excuses for not hanging ’round
G F Em Dm Dm7
i’ve squandered emotions on the slightest of notions
G G7 C
and the first easy loving i’ve found
C Cmaj7 Am7 C6
soon all the good times , the gay times and play times
F Em Dm Dm7
like colors run together and fade
G F Em Dm
oh lord if you hear me , touch me and hold me
G F Em Dm
and keep me from blowing away
[ instrumental break then modulate to D ]
D Dmaj7 Bm7 D6
there’ve been times that i’ve trembled and my mind’s remembered
G F#m Em Em7
the days that just crumbled away
A G F#m Em
with nothing to show but these lines that i know
A D
are beginning to show in my face
D Dmaj7 Bm7 D6
so lord if you’re listenin’ you know i’m no christian
G F#m Em Em7
and i ain’t got much coming to me
A G F#m Em
but won’t you send down some sunshine , throw out a lifeline
G A D
and keep me from blowing away
A G F#m Em
lord if you hear me , touch me and hold me ,
G A G D
and keep me from blowing away
