Tip: Give this a slightly syncopated feel to capture the ocean rhythm. Emphasize upstrokes slightly for that island vibe. Build intensity into the “see the line where the sky meets the sea” section.
Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C Am
I’ve been staring at the edge of the water
F G
Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
C Am
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
F G
But I come back to the water no matter how hard I try
Chorus
Am F C
See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me
G Am
And no one knows how far it goes
F C
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
G
One day I’ll know
Am F C G
If I go there’s just no telling how far I’ll go
Verse 2
C Am
I know everybody on this island
F G
Seems so happy on this island, everything is by design
C Am
I know everybody on this island
F G
Has a role on this island, so maybe I can roll with mine
