Carrie Newcomer - The shelter of the sky

Where ^GI grew up there was more blue than green You learned to like the spaces in b^Cetween ^AmEverywhere you go, there you ^Gare No ^Ammatter how surprising or how ^Gfar

^GSome things I will never understand How a weary heart can open and e^Cxpand Why my ^Amsoul can only travel in o^Gne day To the ^Amedge of my longing and a ^Clittle ^Dmore ^Gway

I don't know ^Chow, I don't know ^Emwhy I've always^C felt so at ^Dhome beneath the ^Gshelter ^Dof the ^Gsky I don't know ^Cwhat it might im^Emply I've always^C felt so at ^Dhome beneath the ^Gshelter ^Dof the^G sky_^C__^G__^D__ ^{G C G D}

^GI dreamt of you last night I asked you, “Charlie, are you still ^Calright?” ^Am You smiled and then you said to ^Gme “I've been ^Amout walking beneath some ^Cmighty ^Dfine ^Gtrees”

I don't know ^Chow, I don't know ^Emwhy I've always^C felt so at ^Dhome beneath the ^Gshelter ^Dof the ^Gsky I don't know ^Cwhat it might im^Emply I've always^C felt so at ^Dhome beneath the ^Gshelter ^Dof the^G sky_^C__^G__^D_ ^C

Everything I ^Dwas, all that I'll be^Emcome Every ^D/F#silent hour and song I've ^Gsung Nothing's ever ^Dgone, but is passing ^Emby Beneath the ^D/F#shelter of the (^Gshelter of the) ^CShelter of the (^G/Bshelter of the) ^CShelter of the ^Gsky (shelter of the ^Csk^Gy_^D____)^{C G D}

^GIt came to me down by the lake Like an obvious secret or an ^Cendless ache ^AmOut at the horizon I can^G see The ^Amshelter of the sky and some of^C Char^Dlie's ^Gtrees

I don't know ^Chow, I don't know ^Emwhy I've always^C felt so at ^Dhome beneath the ^Gshelter ^Dof the ^Gsky I don't know ^Cwhat it might im^Emply I've always^C felt so at ^Dhome beneath the ^Gshelter ^Dof the^G sky_^C__^G__^D__ ^G

^GI'm miles away and hours from dawn I'm hoping you remembered to ^Cleave the porch light on ^AmEverywhere you go, there you ^Gare No ^Ammatter where you land, no ^Cmatter ^Dhow^G far_^C__^G__^D___ ^G

Oooh ^Cooh ^Dooh ^Gooh Aah ^Cah ^Gah ^Daaah ^{G C G D}
