Lifeline

[INTRO:] C    F  G  F  G  C

[VERSE 1:]

I was in some timeless place
F                G
Timeless face of my embrace
     F             G
Held empty air and empty space
F              G     C
All on a sunny day


[VERSE 2:]

She lived by the bounding main
   F           G
To Baltimore I took a plane
   F               G
An east coast lady lit my flame
F              G     C  F  C
All on a sunny day


[VERSE 3:]

I was in some dreamless sleep
      F               G
Where angels watch as lovers leap
F                   G
Some of them landed on their feet
F                    G      C
Letting the lifeline stray


[VERSE 4:]

She was like the breath of spring
      F                G
Where flowers grow and robins sing
F                   G
Keeping me from the pouring rain

All on a summer's day


[CHORUS:]
                   F
There's a lifeline that I know
       G                 C
And it holds me back and lets me go
    F                  G    
Whatever I do, I don't let my 
           C
lifeline stray

[VERSE 5:]

So it goes as lifetimes pass
     F                 G
From heart to mind and back again
   F              G
My restlessness becomes a flame
F                   G     C
Letting my lifeline show


[VERSE 6:]

She stood by the boundless tide
 F               G
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide
F                      G
Letting her conscience be her guide
F                  G    C  F  C
Needing a lifeline so


[VERSE 7:]

I was in some aimless state
      F                 G
Where lovers meet while angels wait
     F                  G
With gifts of time they hesitate
F              G     C  F  C
All on a sunny day


[VERSE 8:]

She lived by the bounding main
     F            G
From Baltimore, I took a train
   F               G
An east coast lady lit my flame
F                 G    F Em G C
All on a summer's day


[CHORUS:]
                   F
There's a lifeline in my soul
       G                 C
And it holds me back and lets me go
F               C
I'm in love, so I've been told
F                    G      C
Letting the lifeline stay


[CHORUS:]
                     F
I've got a heartline in the air
           G                    
And if you listen for me, you'll 
 C
find me there
    F                  G    
Whatever I do, I don't let my 
           C
lifeline stray
