GI was  once a Sunday knAmeeler
When I saw the lCeadlightD, fall from the pGane
I didn't know that thGe grass, was not only grAmeener
Upkeep is chCeaper, Dwhen you embrace the rGain
So I jumped down to lay with my lAmeadlight
Under your spCotlight, DI lay with the shGards
I didn't know that the grGound, is not only hAmarder
Oh but cFmaj7/Colder when you Dare not arGound
[Chorus]
I lFmaj7/Cove you my dCarling I dGo!
But I can lFet possession mCake a fool of yGou

[Verse 1]

G Am

I was once a Sunday kneeler

C D G

When I saw the leadlight, fall from the pane

G Am

I didn't know that the grass, was not only greener

C D G

Upkeep is cheaper, when you embrace the rain

So I jumped down to lay with my leadlight

C D G

Under your spotlight, I lay with the shards

G Am

I didn't know that the ground, is not only harder

Fmaj7/C D G

Oh but colder when you are not around

[Chorus]

Fmaj7/C C G

I love you my darling I do!

F C G

But I can let possession make a fool of you

Fmaj7/C C G

I love you my darling I do!

F C G G/B

But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through

[Interlude]

F C G

[Verse 2]

G Am

So I ran with dreams to reach the skyline

C D G

Straight up that incline, I ran towards the blue

G Am

I didn't know that the sky, is not only wider

Fmaj7/C D G

Oh but clearer when I'm standing next to you

[Chorus]

Fmaj7/C C G

I love you my darling I do!

F C G

But I can let possession make a fool of you

Fmaj7/C C G

I love you my darling I do!

F C G G/B

But I can't promise I'll be here to see this whole love through

[Interlude]

F C G

[Refrain]

G/B Am C C/E Dsus4

Oh I believe in trust you see

G D Em Am C

But don't you go and put your trust in me

F Am G

I cost more than you earn

Am7 F D

So tell me boy why didn't you ever learn?

[Outro]

Fmaj7/C C G

I love you my darling I do!

F C G

But I can let possession make a fool of you

Fmaj7/C C G

I love you my darling I do!
