intro: G

G C*

Waitin' for my ride / Jesus is floatin' outside

C* D G

Shine on, sweet Jesus, on me

G C*

Watchin' the water rise / I'm gettin' lost in the tide

C* D G

Cry all your teardrops on me

C D G C

While i'm still myself, your blankets covered me

C D G

Covered me while i was still asleep

Watchin' the planets shine / reflecting yourself in the sky

Shine on, sweet Jesus, on me

Scraping these smiles of mine / impossible one at a time

Cry all your teardrops on me

While I'm still myself, your blankets covered me

Covered me while I was still asleep

Jesus is at my side / wondering what he will find

Shine on, sweet Jesus, on me

Watchin' the water rise / I'm gettin' lost in the tide

Cry all your teardrops on me

While I'm still myself, your blankets covered me

Covered me while I was still asleep
