[Intro]
Cm G7(#5)
[Verse 1]
Cm
When I was born you were my breath
Bdim
You warmed my skin against your breast
Eb
You were my food you were my light
F/A
You were my morning and my night
Ab
It's always only ever been
Eb/Bb G Cm G7(#5)
It's always only ever been you
[Verse 2]
Cm
And then I met you on the wall
Bdim
You were seventeen inches tall
Eb/Bb
A painted smile across your face
F/A
I prayed for heaven, prayed for grace
Ab/Eb
I gave my life when I was ten
Eb/Bb
I prayed in tongues was born again
Fm6/D G Cm Csus2
It’s always only ever been you
[Chorus]
Ab
You were there
Eb/Bb
As the world unfolded harsher fare
Fm6/D
As the spiral pared the seams
Bb/D
And the brand new colors gleamed
Eb/Bb
I could only think of you
Ab
You were there
Eb/Bb
Every broken heart and tangled care
Bb/D
Jesus, Savior, Lord, and King
Bdim
Oh my friend and everything
G Cm C/G
It was always only you
[Verse 3]
Fm
I saw the writing on the wall

You were a man and that was all
Ab/Eb
There was no God in heaven above
Bb/D
There was no perfect saving love
C#
It was always only ever me
Ab C/G Fm F
It was always only me
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Cm
And then my world was torn apart
Bdim
I felt a ground, I felt a heart
Eb/Bb
And all the universe was one
F/A
Just like a Father, Spirit, Son
Ab
My heart is open once again
Eb/Bb
A distant love, a forlorn friend
Fm6/D G
Maybe it's always ever been You
[Chorus 2]
Ab
If you are there
Eb/Bb
As the world unfolds its harsher fare
Fm6/D
As the spiral pairs the seams
Bb/D
As the holy haunts my dreams
Eb/Bb
I will stay right here with you
Ab
You were there
Eb/Bb
Every broken heart and tangled care
Fm6/D
Jesus, Teacher, Brahman Light
G
Son of God and Source of Life
Cm Cm
And it’s always only you, And it’s always only you
