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 strayVERSE 4:
She was like the breath of spring
F G
Where flowers grow and robins sing
F G
Keeping me from the pouring rain
F G F Em G C
All on a summer's dayCHORUS:
F There's a lifeline that I know G C And it holds me back and lets me go F G C Whatever I do, I don't let my 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 showVERSE 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 dayVERSE 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 dayCHORUS:
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 C And if you listen for me, you'll find me there F G C Whatever I do, I don't let my lifeline stray
