 Intro: | E MajorE   |

 Verse 1:

 (E MajorE)
   I have returned, to northern skies,
               E MajorE
   Where the summer hasn't touched, the clouds that pass above
 (E MajorE)
   I have returned, to the somber grace,
               E MajorE
   Of the days too early to come, and too hurried to stay.

 Verse 2:
 (E MajorE)
   Oh I have left, a million stars,
          E MajorE
   And an ocean light, and clearly blue.
 (E MajorE)
   And I have left, the warmth of the sun,
           E MajorE
   And a million adventures, not yet begun.

 Chorus 1:
     E MajorE
  For once there was beauty here for me,
        E MajorE
  Under the wide_____, northern skies
     E MajorE
  And once there was magic here for me,
        E MajorE
  Under the wide_____, northern skies.

 Verse 3:

 (E MajorE)
   I saw trees as green, and this dark as blue,
           E MajorE
   Heartbreak and poetry, with deeper roots
 (E MajorE)
   Now I know, this is lonely country,
           E MajorE
   And it leads me only, back to the sea.

 Chorus 2:

     E MajorE
  For once there was beauty here for me,
        E MajorE
  Under the wide_____, northern skies,
     E MajorE
  And once there was magic here for me,
        E MajorE
  Under the wide_____, northern skies.

 (E MajorE
   I have returned, to northern skies,
               E MajorE
   Where the summer hasn't touched, the clouds that pass above

   I have returned, to the somber grace,
                E MajorE
   Of the days too early to come, and too hurried to stay.
