intro

A A A A

verse

A Bm
we sailed east in summer on the azores high

D A
for days i felt a silence in my soul

A Bm
we headed south in winter to the trade winds

D A
like a heartbeat , i could feel the ocean roll

prechorus

D Bm
my mother taught me how to be strong

Cm D
my father showed me how to carry on

chorus

A D
now i turn the compass round , and head out on the ocean

A D
i turn the compass round , and head out on the sea

Bm
cause i’ve made my way , i’ve walked this world

Cm
i’ve tried to be a better girl

D
i’ve held my head up , held my own

E A A
now all i wanna be is home

verse

A Bm
sometimes i think i’m never gonna find

a sweetness that i knew when i was young

A Bm
and in this faded photograph it seems

like everything is shining in the sun
