Capo 6
[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C F C
Ran out the door some years ago.
FM7 G Am7
Slinging words at my old man like thistles and stones.
C F C
Said "No need to worry, I'll never come home."
FM7 G C F
My mom crying "Don't go," as I raced down the road.
[Verse 2]
C F C
Straight through 'til sun fell I kept up the pace,
FM7 G Am7
'til darkness embraced me and I lost my way.
C F C
Weary from travel and wet from the rain,
FM7 G C
I stopped at a tavern in Broken Mast Bay.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
Where a rough-cut man
F C G Gsus4
Said, "What's your business, lad?"
[Chorus]
C F C
"I can't find my way back home.
F G Am
It's cold, it's dark, I'm all alone."
C F C
He said "My boy, you're not lost yet.
F G C
Just follow the compass that beats in your chest."
F C F
[Verse 3]
C Fsus2 C
12 years had gone as a wandering man,
F G Am
Searching for meaning in far distant lands.
C F C
Defied kings and queens and with foes, raised a glass,
F G C
And fell for an outlaw named "Katie McMahon."
[Verse 4]
C F C
Oh, we sailed the sea seeking mountains of gold,
F G Am
And fountains of youth from the stories of old.
C F C
Escaped from the perils and monsters below,
F G C
But after it all we had nothin' to show.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G
Then Katie said "my love...
F C G Gsus4
Our journey's just begun."
[Chorus]
C F C
"We can make our way back home.
F G Am
I'm here with you, you're not alone.
C F C
I'll fight with you 'til our last breath,
F G C
To follow the compass that beats in our chest."
F C
[Bridge]
Am G F C
So we traded swords, our sails, and yours
Dm7 G
For a simple life.
Am G F C
20 years she never left my side
Dm7 Gsus4 G
'Til she passed one night.
[Chorus]
C F C
Well my love, you made it home,
F G Am
Without you here, I'm so alone.
C F C
But I will fight 'til my last breath,
F G Am7
'Cause you are the compass that beats in my chest.
[Outro]
F G C
Yeah, you are the compass that beats in my chest.
