Gordon Lightfoot - Lifeline CAPO: 4th Fret [INTRO:] C F G F G C [VERSE 1:] I was in some timeless place

^FTimeless face of ^Gmy embrace Held ^Fempty air and ^Gempty space ^FAll on a sunny ^Gday ^C

[VERSE 2:] She lived by the bounding main

To ^FBaltimore I ^Gtook a plane An ^Feast coast lady ^Glit my flame ^FAll on a sunny ^Gday ^C ^F ^C

[VERSE 3:] I was in some dreamless sleep

Where ^Fangels watch as ^Glovers leap ^FSome of them landed ^Gon their feet ^FLetting the lifeline ^Gstray ^C

[VERSE 4:] She was like the breath of spring

Where ^Fflowers grow and ^Grobins sing ^FKeeping me from the ^Gpouring rain ^FAll on a summer's ^Gday ^F ^Em ^G ^C

[CHORUS:]

There's a lifeline ^Fthat I know And it ^Gholds me back and ^Clets me go What^Fever I do, I don't ^Glet my lifeline ^Cstray

[INSTRUMENTAL:] C F G F G F G C F C [VERSE 5:] So it goes as lifetimes pass

From ^Fheart to mind and ^Gback again My ^Frestlessness be^Gcomes a flame ^FLetting my lifeline ^Gshow ^C

[VERSE 6:] She stood by the boundless tide

A^Ffraid to ride, a^Gfraid to hide ^FLetting her conscience ^Gbe her guide ^FNeeding a lifeline ^Gso ^C ^F ^C

[VERSE 7:] I was in some aimless state

Where ^Flovers meet while ^Gangels wait With ^Fgifts of time they ^Ghesitate ^FAll on a sunny ^Gday ^C ^F ^C

[VERSE 8:] She lived by the bounding main

From ^FBaltimore, I ^Gtook a train An ^Feast coast lady ^Glit my flame ^FAll on a summer's ^Gday ^F ^Em ^G ^C

[CHORUS:]

There's a lifeline ^Fin my soul And it ^Gholds me back and ^Clets me go ^FI'm in love, so ^CI've been told ^FLetting the lifeline ^Gstay ^C

[CHORUS:]

I've got a heartline ^Fin the air And if you ^Glisten for me, you'll ^Cfind me there What^Fever I do, I don't ^Glet my lifeline ^Cstray
