🎸 Intro:

A minorAm      D MajorD

🎸 Verse 1:
A minorAm           D MajorD   A minorAm
Ran out the door some years ago.
     C#M7           C# minorC#m      G#m7G#m7
Slinging words at my old man like thistles and stones.
   A minorAm            D MajorD      A minorAm
Said "No need to worry, I'll never come home."
    C#M7           C# minorC#m       A minorAm      D MajorD
My mom crying "Don't go," as I raced down the road.

🎸 Verse 2:
A minorAm                D MajorD      A minorAm
Straight through 'til sun fell I kept up the pace,
   C#M7           C# minorC#m    G#m7G#m7
'til darkness embraced me and I lost my way.
A minorAm           D MajorD       A minorAm
Weary from travel and wet from the rain,
 C#M7          C# minorC#m     A minorAm
I stopped at a tavern in Broken Mast Bay.

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    D MajorD   A minorAm  C# minorC#m
Where a rough-cut man
          D MajorD  A minorAm   C# minorC#m  Bmsus4
Said, "What's your business, lad "

🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm        D MajorD     A minorAm
"I can't find my way back home.
D MajorD             C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m
It's cold, it's dark, I'm all alone."
  A minorAm          D MajorD     A minorAm
He said "My boy, you're not lost yet.
   D MajorD            C# minorC#m      A minorAm
Just follow the compass that beats in your chest."

D MajorD A minorAm D MajorD

🎸 Verse 3:
A minorAm           Csus2Csus2   A minorAm
12 years had gone as a wandering man,
D MajorD             C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
Searching for meaning in far distant lands.
 A minorAm               D MajorD        A minorAm
Defied kings and queens and with foes, raised a glass,
  D MajorD             C# minorC#m   A minorAm
And fell for an outlaw named "Katie McMahon."

🎸 Verse 4:
  A minorAm             D MajorD       A minorAm
Oh, we sailed the sea seeking mountains of gold,
  D MajorD              C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m
And fountains of youth from the stories of old.
 A minorAm             D MajorD     A minorAm
Escaped from the perils and monsters below,
  D MajorD          C# minorC#m     A minorAm
But after it all we had nothin' to show.

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
      D MajorD   A minorAm  C# minorC#m
Then Katie said "my love
       D MajorD   A minorAm C# minorC#m  Bmsus4
Our journey's just begun."

🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm        D MajorD     A minorAm
"We can make our way back home.
  D MajorD           C# minorC#m G# minorG#m
I'm here with you, you're not alone.
   A minorAm          D MajorD     A minorAm
I'll fight with you 'til our last breath,
  D MajorD            C# minorC#m      A minorAm
To follow the compass that beats in our chest."

D MajorD A minorAm

🎸 Bridge:
   G# minorG#m   C# minorC#m     D MajorD      A minorAm
So we traded swords, our sails, and yours
   G#m7G#m7  C# minorC#m
For a simple life.
  G# minorG#m    C# minorC#m  D MajorD    A minorAm
20 years she never left my side
     G#m7G#m7    Bmsus4   C# minorC#m
'Til she passed one night.

🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm         D MajorD    A minorAm
Well my love, you made it home,
  D MajorD         C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m
Without you here, I'm so alone.
  A minorAm         D MajorD    A minorAm
But I will fight 'til my last breath,
    D MajorD             C# minorC#m     G#m7G#m7
'Cause you are the compass that beats in my chest.

🎸 Outro:
   D MajorD             C# minorC#m     A minorAm
Yeah, you are the compass that beats in my chest.
