Introduction:

hard |||||
 E9                                                                       B4 
I've been staring at the edge of the water
                               C#m 
'Long as I can remember
                                           A 
Never really knowing why
 E9                                                         B4 
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
                                               C#m 
But I come back to the water
                                           A 
No matter how hard I try
 C#m 
Every turn I take
Every trail I track
                           B 
Every path I make
Every road leads back
               E/G# 
To the place I know
Where I cannot go
                 Am6 
Where I long to be
                 E9 
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
             B4 
It calls me
               C#m 
No one knows
                       A 
How far it goes
               E9 
If the wind in my sail on the sea
                   B4 
Stays behind me
                           C#m 
One day I'll know
           Am6                                                                         E9 
If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go
                                                   B4 
I know everybody on this island
                                               C#m 
Seems so happy on this island
                                           A 
Everything is by design
     E9                                         B4 
I know everybody on this island
                                       C#m 
Has a role on this island
                                                       A 
So maybe I could roll with mine
             C#m 
I can lead with pride
I can make us strong
                 B 
I'll be satisfied if I play along
                 E/G# 
But the voice inside sings a different song
                   Am6 
What is wrong with me?
                 E9 
See the light as it shines on the sea
               B4 
It's blinding
                       C#m 
But no one knows
                         A 
How deep it goes
               E9 
And it seems like it's calling out to me
                     B4 
So come find me
                       C#m 
And let me know
                   Am6 
What's beyond that line,
Will I cross that line?
                 F/A 
See the line where the sky meets the sea
           C4 
It calls me
                       Dm7 
And no one knows
                       Bb9 
How far it goes
               F/A 
If the wind in my sail on the sea
                   C4 
Stays behind me
                             Dm 
One day I'll know
                           G#     G  F   G#  G 
How far I'll go
