Sample Lyrics with Chords (Capo 4)
C Dm
I've been staring at the edge of the water
Am F
Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
C Dm
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
Am F
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try
Am
Every turn I take, every trail I track
G
Every path I make, every road leads back
C
To the place I know, where I cannot go
Fm
Where I long to be
C G
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
Am F
And no one knows how far it goes
Fm C
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
Am Fm C
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
This version uses easier open chords with the capo on the 4th fret to simplify playing while matching the original recording
