Intro:
G+G  A minorAm Am7Am7 A minorAm  C majorC  G+G
G MajorG  A minorAm Am7Am7 A minorAm  C majorC  G+G

Verse 1:
      G+G
These new lines on my face
      G+G
Spell out "girl pick up your pace
    A minorAm               D MajorD
If you want to stay true to what your younger self would do"

Verse 2:
     G+G
And this kink in my walk
     G+G
Makes me focus when I talk
   A minorAm
If I can't trust my feet
       D/AD/A        D7D7
Then it's my tongue I choose to keep

Verse 3:
       G+G
And I walk slow so I can read
    G+G
Let my head fall, my hips lead
      A minorAm
Why'd you write the words so small?
     D MajorD
Did you fool me, are they words at all?

Verse 4:
    G+G
Or are you pulling down the veil
     G+G
Keeping grounded as you set my sail?
    A minorAm
By the time I pull it off
    D MajorD
All my innocence is lost

Verse 5:
      A minorAm
And oh I'm good, I think I'm good
      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will I be great, will I be great?
    C majorC              G+G
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love for his sake?

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

Chorus:
      A minorAm
When will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
  C majorC
Oh water can't revive me
    G+G
I need dirt in my hand
    A minorAm
Will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
     C majorC
Oh the ground will give me something
  D MajorD      Dsus4Dsus4 G+G
I know that it can

Interlude:
G+G  A minorAm Am7Am7 A minorAm  C majorC  G+G

Verse 7:
       G+G
See I have charm and I have sight
     G+G
And I always try and do what's right
      A minorAm
But I have faults you know it's true
       D MajorD        D7D7
Especially when it comes to treating you well

Verse 8:
G+G             G+G
I will work when all my thoughts are mine again
      A minorAm               D MajorD
See I was sure at the start, turns out I tried too hard
      A minorAm
And oh I'm good, I think I'm good
      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will I be great, will I be great?
    C majorC              G+G
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love
   D MajorD   D7D7
for his sake?

Chorus:
      A minorAm
When will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
  C majorC
Oh water can't revive me
    G+G
I need dirt in my hand
    A minorAm
Will I ever see the land?
    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will I ever see the land?
     C majorC
Oh the ground will give me something
  D MajorD      Dsus4Dsus4 G+G
I know that it can
