Verse 1:
When I was born you were my b[Cm]reath
You warmed my skin against your b[Cmaj7/B]reast
You were my food You were my l[Cm7/Bb]ight
You were my morning and my [F/A]night
It's always only ever be[Ab]en
It's always only ever b[Eb]een [G7]You[Cm]
Verse 2:
And then I met you on the [Cm]wall
You were seventeen inches ta[Cm(maj7)/B]ll
A painted smile across your fa[Cm7/Bb]ce
I prayed for heaven, prayed for g[F/A]race
I gave my life when I was te[Ab]n
I prayed in tongues was born [Eb]again
It's always only ever b[Ab]een [G7]You[Cm][Eb7]
Chorus 1:
[Ab]You were there, as the world unfolded h[Eb]arsher fare
As the spiral pared the s[Dm7]eams, and the brand new colors gle[Bb]amed
I could only think of yo[Eb]u
[Ab]You were there, every broken heart and [Eb]tangled care
Jesus, Savior, Lord and K[Bb/D]ing; oh my friend and every[G7]thing
It was always only You[Cm][C7]
Verse 3:
I saw the writing on the wal[Fm]l
You were a man and that was[Fmaj7/E] all
There was no God in heaven a[Fm7/Eb]bove
There was no perfect saving love[Bb/D]
It was always only ever me[Db]
It was always only [Ab]me[C7][Fm]

Verse 4:
And then my world was torn a[Cm]part
I felt a ground, I felt a [Cmaj7/B]heart
And all the universe was [Cm7/Bb]one
Just like a Father, Spirit, Son[F/A]
My heart is open once aga[Ab]in
A distant love, a forlorn friend[Eb]
Maybe it's always ever b[Ab]een [G7]You[Cm][Eb7]
Chorus 2:
If [Ab]you are there as the world unfolds its h[Eb]arsher fare
As the spiral pairs the s[Dm7]eams, as the holy haunts my [Bb]dreams
I will stay right here wi[Eb]th You
[Ab]You were there, every broken heart and t[Eb]angled care
Jesus, Teacher, Brahman [Bb/D]Light; Son of God and Sour[G7]ce of Life
And it's always only [Cm]You
When I was born you were my b[Cm]reath
You warmed my skin against your b[Cmaj7/B]reast
