F
  The sun reflected in
      G
  The back of my eye.
F                               G
  I knocked my head against the sky.
 
 
Ab                                 C
  The dragonflies are busy buzzing me.
Ab                                 C
  A seahorse as if we were in the sea.
 
 
F
  Half way from coal
                G
  Half way from diamond.
F                                    G
  My fall knocked a mean chip out of me.
Ab                          C
  Gathering as far as I can reach.
Ab
  Perched up on a precipice
      C
  And this is what I've seen.
 
G
This is all I want,
           F    C
It's all I need.
G
This is all I am.
          F     C
It's everything,
G
This is all I want
           F   C
It's all I need
 
A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree.
Doctorate in science and a theologians dream
 
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me.
The seahorses as if we were in the sea.
 
But this is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am,
It's everything.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
 
F
  Beat a drum for me
G
  Like a butterfly wing.
F
  Tropical storm across the ocean.
 
But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Don't forget we're just half way from coal.
 
This is all I want,
It's all I need.
This is all I am,
It's everything.
This is all I want,
It's all I need.

Couple of wee changes I suggest Capo on 3rd fret makes some sus type chords a little easier to play. Love this song! The sun reflected in E The back of my eye. D E I knocked my head against the sky. G E The dragonflies are busy buzzing me. G A A seahorse as if we were in the sea. Half way from coal E Half way from diamond. D E My fall knocked a mean chip out of me. G E Gathering as far as I can reach. G Perched up on a precipice A And this is what I've seen. This is all I want, D A It's all I need. Em This is all I am. D A It's everything, E This is all I want D A It's all I need A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree. Doctorate in science and a theologians dream The dragonflies are trying to lecture me. The seahorses as if we were in the sea. But this is all I want, It's all I need. This is all I am, It's everything. This is all I want, It's all I need. Beat a drum for me E Like a butterfly wing. D Tropical storm across the ocean. But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know Don't forget we're just half way from coal. This is all I want, It's all I need. This is all I am, It's everything. This is all I want, It's all I need.
