Biography:
Phil Keaggy (born March 23, 1951) is a Christian guitarist, songwriter, and singer. Raised in a small farmhouse in Hubbard, Ohio with nine brothers and sisters, Keaggy began playing guitar at age ten on a Sears Silvertone guitar, despite missing half of the middle finger on his right hand due to an accident at age 4 involving a water pump.
He is frequently listed as one of the top fingerstyle guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine readers' polls, but he is equally at home on electric guitar.

[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G
Like a foolish dreamer,
C G F
trying to build a highway to the sky
C Am
All my hopes would come tumbling down,
B7 Em
and I never knew just why
G C
Until today, when you pulled away the clouds
G F
That hung like curtains on my eyes
C Am
Well I've been blind all these wasted years
B7 Em
and I thought I was so wise
C D
But then you took me by surprise
[Chorus]
G F
Like waking up from the longest dream,
C
how real it seemed
A G D G
Until your love broke through
G F C
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
A G D G
Until your love broke through
[Verse 2]
G C G F
All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part
C Am
And with one touch, you just rolled away
B7 Em
the stone that held my heart
G C G
And now I see that the answer was as easy,
G F
as just asking you in
C Am B7 Em
And I am so sure I could never doubt your gentle touch again
C D
It's like the power of the wind
[Chorus]
G F
Like waking up from the longest dream,

how real it seemed

Until your love broke through
