[Verse]
C/G Fmaj7/C
Leave the dishes in the sink don't overthink it
G C/G Fmaj7/C
Close up the brokenhearted piano
C/G C/E Fmaj7/C
Join me on the porch if you can swing it
G C/G E7
Let's dream an ocean in Ohio
Am Dm
You've been working so hard I can feel it
G C/G E7
The clean and honest sweat upon your skin
Am Dm
I wanna see the rosy light on your face
G D G
Is this evening free or did it cost us everything
[CHORUS]
C/G
It's our favorite time of light
Fmaj7
Just before the day kisses the night
Am
You see the redwing blackbirds fly
D7
The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
C/G
And when the day is bending low
Fmaj7
And rolling fields begin to glow
Am
Feels like we traveled all this way
D7
Just so I could hear you say
Fmaj7
It's our favorite
G C/G F G C/G F G
Our favorite time of light
[VERSE]
C/G Fmaj7/C
Can you still hear those children singing?
G C/G Fmaj7/C
Remember Jesus Loves Me This I Know
C/G C/E Fmaj7/C
Now there's just a lone blue heron flying
G C/G
Dreaming an ocean in Ohio
[CHORUS]
C/G
It's our favorite time of light
F
Just before the day kisses the night
Am
You see the redwing blackbirds fly
D7
The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
C/G
The moon is waiting in the wings
F
Dreamin' up some midnight song to sing
Am
And I know we'll be okay
D7
Everytime I hear you say
F
It's our favorite
G C/G F G C/G F G
Our favorite time of light
[VERSE]
C/G Fmaj7/C
The dreams I've dreamed I give them all to you now
G C/G Fmaj7/C
I'm not really sure what shape they're in
C/G C/E Fmaj7/C
Maybe they were all just too expensive
G C/G E7
Maybe after dark we'll try again
Am Dm
So add this to your list of simple beauties
G C/G E7
I know we're gonna miss it when we go
Am Dm
While barren fields undress their gentle mysteries
G C/G
We dream an ocean in Ohio
[CHORUS]
C/G
It's our favorite time of light
F
Just before the day kisses the night
Am
You see the redwing blackbirds fly
D7
The sun's a big ol' lazy eye
C/G
When they lay me down at last
F
And this life is finally past
Am
Just remember me this way
D7
And don't forget to say
F
It's our favorite
