[Intro]
G  Am Am7 Am  C  G
G  Am Am7 Am  C  G

[Verse 1]
      G
These new lines on my face
      G
Spell out `girl pick up your pace
    Am               D
If you want to stay true to what your younger self would do`

[Verse 2]
     G
And this kink in my walk
     G
Makes me focus when I talk
   Am
If I can`t trust my feet
       D/A        D7
Then it`s my tongue I choose to keep

[Verse 3]
       G
And I walk slow so I can read
    G
Let my head fall, my hips lead
      Am
Why`d you write the words so small?
     D
Did you fool me, are they words at all?

[Verse 4]
    G
Or are you pulling down the veil
     G
Keeping grounded as you set my sail?
    Am
By the time I pull it off
    D
All my innocence is lost

[Verse 5]
      Am
And oh I`m good, I think I`m good
      Fmaj7
Will I be great, will I be great?
    C              G
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love for his sake?

[Verse 6]
        G
And these new parts I now need
      G
To help me function, help me feed
      Am
They are beyond my modest earnings
    D
Oh the girls they keep turning up the heat
  G
As if it`s cold
     C
But I`m hot, too hot to hold
Am                 D
I`ll burn a hole right through the hull

[Chorus]
      Am
When will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
  C
Oh water can`t revive me
    G
I need dirt in my hand
    Am
Will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
     C
Oh the ground will give me something
  D      Dsus4 G
I know that it can

[Interlude]
G  Am Am7 Am  C  G

[Verse 7]
       G
See I have charm and I have sight
     G
And I always try and do what`s right
      Am
But I have faults you know it`s true
       D        D7
Especially when it comes to treating you well

[Verse 8]
G             G
I will work when all my thoughts are mine again
      Am               D
See I was sure at the start, turns out I tried too hard
      Am
And oh I`m good, I think I`m good
      Fmaj7
Will I be great, will I be great?
    C              G
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love
   D   D7
for his sake?

[Chorus]
      Am
When will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
  C
Oh water can`t revive me
    G
I need dirt in my hand
    Am
Will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
     C
Oh the ground will give me something
  D      Dsus4 G
I know that it can

[Outro]
G  Am Am7 Am  C  G
G  Am Am7 Am  C  G Gsus4 G
