[Verse 1]
 
 F                       G
The sun reflected in the back of my eye
F                             G
I knocked my head against the sky
 
Bb                                C
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me
Bb                           C
Seahorses if we were in the sea
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                             G
Halfway from coal, halfway to diamond
F                                  G
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me
 
Bb                            C
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
Bb
We’re perched up on a precipice
    C
And this is what I've seen
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb                               F C
This is all I want, it’s all I need
Bb                              F C
This is all I am, it’s everything
Bb                                F C
This is all I want, it’s all I need
 
 
[Verse 3]
F                           G
A Blue Jay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree
F                          G
Doctorate in science and a theologian's dream
 
Bb                                     C
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me
Bb                          C
Seahorses if we were in the sea
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb                                F C
This is all I want, it’s all I need
Bb                              F C
This is all I am, it’s everything
Bb                                F C
This is all I want, it’s all I need
 
*Instrumental*
 
[Verse 4]
F                                    G
Beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing
F                          G
Tropical storm across the ocean
 
Bb                                      C
But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Bb                                   C
Don't forget we're just halfway from coal
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb                                F C
This is all I want, it’s all I need
Bb                              F C
This is all I am, it’s everything
Bb                                F C
This is all I want, it’s all I need
 
*Instrumental*
