Verse 1
[Synth]
E 
F#m7 
I've been staring at the edge of the water
C#m7 
Long as I can remember,
F#m7 
never really knowing why
E 
F#m7 
I  wish I could be the perfect daughter
C#m7 
But I come back to the water,
F#m7 
no matter how hard I      try

Every turn I take, every trail I track

Every path I make, every road leads back

To the place I know, where I can not go

Though I long to be

Chorus 1
E 
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
B 
it calls me
C#m7 
Amaj7 
And no one knows  how far it goes
E 
If the wind in my sail on the sea
B 
stays behind me
C#m7 
One day I'll know
Am 
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll

I  know everybody on this island
C#m7 
Seems so happy on this island

Everything is by design
E 
F#m7 
I  know everybody on this island

Has a role on this island

So maybe I can roll with mine

I can lead with pride, I can make us strong

See the light as it shines on the sea?
B 
it's blinding
C#m7 
Amaj7 
But no one knows  how deep it goes
E 
And it seems like it's calling out to me,
B 
so come find me
C#m7 
And let me know
Am 
what's beyond that line
Will I cross that line?

Chorus 3
F 
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
C 
it calls me
Dm7 
Bbmaj7 
And no one knows how far it goes
F 
If the wind in my sail on the sea
C 
stays behind me
Dm7 
One day I'll know
Bbm 
Bbm 
how far I'll go
