Verse

A (x02220@1)                  BmWe (x24432@1)sailed east in summer on the Azores high

D (xx0232@1)                             A (x02220@1)                            
For days I felt a silence in my soul

A (x02220@1)                       Bm (x24432@1)  
We headed south in winter to the trade winds

D (xx0232@1)                               ALike (x02220@1)a heartbeat, I could feel the ocean roll

Prechorus

D (xx0232@1)                 BmMy (x24432@1)mother taught me how to be strong

Cm (x3101x@1)                       DMy (xx0232@1)father showed me how to carry on

Chorus

A (x02220@1)                         DNow (xx0232@1)I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

A (x02220@1)                         DI (xx0232@1)turn the compass round, and head out on the sea

Bm (x24432@1)  
Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world

CmI've (x3101x@1)tried to be a better girl

DI've (xx0232@1)held my head up, held my own

E (022100@1)               A (x02220@1)   A (x02220@1)   
Now all I wanna be is home

Verse

A (x02220@1)                   BmSometimes (x24432@1)I think I'm never gonna find

D (xx0232@1)                              AA (x02220@1)sweetness that I knew when I was young

A (x02220@1)               BmAnd (x24432@1)in this faded photograph it seems

D (xx0232@1)                          ALike (x02220@1)everything is shining in the sun

Prechorus

D (xx0232@1)                 BmMy (x24432@1)mother taught me how to be free

Cm (x3101x@1)                       DMy (xx0232@1)father showed me how to live the dream

Chorus

A (x02220@1)                         DNow (xx0232@1)I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean
