Tina Dico - True North
----------------------
Capo 2 or Capo 3
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
