Introduction: C    F    

C                                                 Dm7  
I' ve been staring at the edge of the water
                      Am                              F  
' Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
C                                        Dm7  
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 can not 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
         C                                                 G  
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
                 Am             Fm  
One day I' ll know, if I go there' s just no telling how far I' ll go
C  G  Am  F  

C                                  Dm7                                  Am  
I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
                     F  
Everything is by design
C                                  Dm7                             Am  
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
                             F  
So maybe I can roll with mine
        Am  
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
          G  
I' ll be satisfied if I play along
          C  
But the voice inside sings a different song
          Fm  
What is wrong with me?
          C                                                    G  
See the light as it shines on the sea? It' s blinding
              Am                        F  
But no one knows, how deep it goes
         C                                                             G  
And it seems like it' s calling out to me, so come find me
              Am                  F  
And let me know, what' s beyond that line, will I cross that line?

            Db                                                  Ab  
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
              Bbm                     Gb  
And no one knows, how far it goes
         Db                                                Ab  
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
                 Bbm                      F#m  
One day I' ll know, how far I' ll go
