[C] [F] [C]I’ve been staring at the edge of the [Dm]water, long as I can [Am]remember, never really [F]knowing why [C]I wish I could be the perfect [Dm]daughter, but I come back to the [Am]water, no matter how hard I [F]try Every [Am]turn I take, every trail I track, every [G]path I make, every road leads back To the [C]place I know, where I can not go, where I [Fm]long to be

See the [C]line where the sky meets the sea? It [G]calls me, and no one [Am]knows, how far it [F]goes If the [C]wind in my sail on the sea stays [G]behind me One day I’ll [Am]know, if I [Fm]go there’s just no telling how far I’ll go

[C] [G] [Am] [F] [C]I know, everybody on this [Dm]island seems so happy on [Am]this island, everything is by [F]design [C]I know, everybody on this [Dm]island has a role on this [Am]island, so maybe I can roll [F]with mine I can [Am]lead with pride, I can make us strong, I’ll be [G]satisfied if I play along But the [C]voice inside sings a different song, what is [Fm]wrong with me?

See the [C]light as it shines on the sea? It’s [G]blinding, but no one [Am]knows, how deep it [F]goes And it [C]seems like it’s calling out to me, so come [G]find me And let me [Am]know, what’s [F]beyond that line, will I cross that line?

See the [Db]line where the sky meets the sea? It [Ab]calls me, and no one [A#m]knows, how far it [Gb]goes If the [Db]wind in my sail on the sea stays [Ab]behind me, one day I’ll [A#m]know, how far I’ll [Gbm]go [Db]
