Verse

A5                    B5
We sailed east in summer on the Azores high

D5                               A5                              
For days I felt a silence in my soul

A5                         B5    
We headed south in winter to the trade winds

       D5                                 A5
Like a heartbeat, I could feel the ocean roll

Prechorus

D5                   B5
My mother taught me how to be strong

C5                         D5
My father showed me how to carry on

Chorus

      A5                           D5
Now I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

  A5                           D5
I turn the compass round, and head out on the sea

           B5    
Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world

     C5
I've tried to be a better girl

     D5
I've held my head up, held my own

    E5                 A5     A5     
Now all I wanna be is home

Verse

A5                     B5
Sometimes I think I'm never gonna find

  D5                                A5
A sweetness that I knew when I was young

A5                 B5
And in this faded photograph it seems

     D5                            A5
Like everything is shining in the sun

Prechorus

D5                   B5
My mother taught me how to be free

C5                         D5
My father showed me how to live the dream

Chorus

      A5                           D5
Now I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

  A5                           D5
I turn the compass round, and head out on the sea

           B5
Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world

     C5
I've tried to be a better girl

     D5
I've held my head up, held my own

    E5                 A5        B5       C5    D5    E5
Now all I wanna be is home, is home, is home

     B5
I've made my way, I've walked this world

     C5
I've tried to be a better girl

     D5
I've held my head up, held my own

    E5                 B5   C5   D5   E5
Now all I wanna be is home

     B5
I've made my way, I've walked this world

     C5
I've tried to be a better girl

     D5
I've held my head up, held my own

    E5                 A5        A5        A5
Now all I wanna be is home, is home, is home

End on A
