Capo 2

Em 

Em        Cadd9 
   They say it's a cold place 
        Cadd9 
Icy and grey 
              
With a wind that cuts through 
           Em     Em 
Marrow and bone 
       Cadd9                       
I've heard the earth cracks open wide 
Cadd9            
    Before your eyes and might 
            Em   Em 
Swallow you whole 
       Cadd9 
They say you can get lost for days 
      Cadd9              Em   Em 
In landscapes of big emotions 
         Cadd9 
In the endless night when the sun doesn't care 
   Cadd9                          Em    Em 
To crawl out of bed behind the oceans 
       
             Cadd9 
We never learned to use a compass 
         Cadd9 
We never learned to read these maps 
              Em 
We always yearned for far-off countries 
         Em 
We never found a straight way back 
                Am 
And it's a miracle 
      Am 
A miracle 


                  Em Cadd9 
  We found true north 
      Em  Cadd9 
 True north 
      Em  Am Cadd9 
 True north 
  
  
Em 
  
Em        Cadd9 
   They say it's an old place 
             Cadd9 
With ancient tales 

Of violence and war 
             Em   Em 
Passion and soul 
         Cadd9 
But I've seen the West bleed into the East 
        Cadd9 
Like a slow breeze 
                    Em  Em 
Blowing ripples of hope 
       Cadd9 
And I know I could get lost for life 
  Cadd9                    Em   Em 
Inside these stories I've heard 
      Cadd9 
'Cause it all just shows that what we know 
            Cadd9                                Em Em  
Is just the tip, the tip, the tip of the iceberg 

          Cadd9 
We never learned to use a compass 
          Cadd9 
We never learned to read these maps 
              Em 
We always yearned for far-off countries 
         Em 
We never found a straight way back 
                Am 
And it's a miracle 
       Am 
A miracle 
              Em  Cadd9 
We found true north 
     Em Cadd9 
True north 
    Am       Cadd9 Em 
        True
