She Ftaught me about diCstance
She tauFght a lesson aCbout a boat that is Dmsailing the sea
TryinEmg to get from point A Fto B
[Prechorus 1]
So the littAmle boat's tGravelling Fat full sail
And it's trAmying to rGeach the shFore
But whenAmever the boGat gets halFfway there
There is aEmlways halfway mFore
[Chorus]
Take hAmalf of half
And haEmlf of that
And oAmn and on and Dso
In my mother's sEmchoolAmhouse
There is aFlways halfGway to Cgo
[Verse 2]
At the kiFtchen taCbleF  
I once foClded a paper boat
And flDmoated it down the tCabletop
FHalfway to my motCher
It Fsailed into her cCoffee cup
Where she cDmrumpled it up
CThrew it away
FAnd told me to stop
[Prechorus 2]
So the littAmle boat's tGrying to Fget to her
But the tAmable is dGeep and wFide
The lesAmson I leaGrned from my Fmother
Was to sEmee the great diFvide
[Chorus]
Take hAmalf of half

And oAmn and on and sDo
At the kitchen tCable
There was EmalwaFys halfGway to Amgo

[Inro]

[Verse 1]

C F C

In my mother's schoolhouse

F C

I would sit at the kitchen table

Dm C

And listen to her teach geometry

F C

She taught me about distance

F C Dm

She taught a lesson about a boat that is sailing the sea

Em F

Trying to get from point A to B

[Prechorus 1]

Am G F

So the little boat's travelling at full sail

Am G F

And it's trying to reach the shore

Am G F

But whenever the boat gets halfway there

Em F

There is always halfway more

[Chorus]

Take half of half

And half of that

Am D

And on and on and so

Em Am

In my mother's schoolhouse

F G C

There is always halfway to go

[Verse 2]

F C F

At the kitchen table

I once folded a paper boat

Dm C

And floated it down the tabletop

F C

Halfway to my mother

F C

It sailed into her coffee cup

Where she crumpled it up

Threw it away

And told me to stop

[Prechorus 2]

Am G F

So the little boat's trying to get to her

Am G F

But the table is deep and wide

Am G F

The lesson I learned from my mother

Em F

Was to see the great divide

[Chorus]

Take half of half

And half of that

Am D

And on and on and so

At the kitchen table

Em F G Am

There was always halfway to go

To go

[Verse 3]

F C

Little boat, big ocean

F C F

I'm a girl with a copper spyglass

Dm F C

Who prays that today she will spot her shore

F C

All at once a lighthouse

F C

All at once through the copper spyglass

Dm F C

A light telling me to learn in on the oar

I start to row

[Prechorus 3]

Am G F

But before I can get anywhere

Am G F

From point A to point B

Am G F

I am at the kitchen table

Em F

Where I'll always be at sea

[Chorus]

Take half of half

And half of that

Am D

No matter where I row

Little boat big ocean

F G Am

There is always halfway to go

Am F

To go
