[Verse 1]
G C G G
I turn the radio on, out come a song I didn't recognize
G C D D
the way the singer was singing, my heart was connected, I was hypnotized.
Bm Bm
How can something that I've never heard in my life
C** G/B** Am Am
pull me back into the light?
[Chorus]
G C G C
It's a time, it's a place, a lyrical sucker-punch to the face,
G D C C
I was running on empty and life was really getting me down.
G C G C
It was a hook, it was a line, it was a Savior in three-quarter time.
G D C G G
I was out there losing my mind when all I needed was a song.
[Verse 2]
G C/G G G
It was a spiritual change, I'm no longer the same, yeah, I've turned a page.
G C D D
In one afternoon a three minute tune was my coming of age.
Bm Bm
It's transformative power, I began to devour
C** G/B** Am Am
every painstaking word.
[Chorus]
G C G C
It's a time, it's a place, a lyrical sucker-punch to the face,
G D C C
I was running on empty and life was really getting me down.
G C G C
It was a hook, it was a line, it was a Savior in three-quarter time.
G D C G G
I was out there losing my mind when all I needed was a song.
