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
