Capo 2.
[Intro]
 Em   G   D   C(2x)
[Verse 1]
EmWith a tiny rope and a bag of stones and aGll her broken wishingbones
DShe's going in, she's going Chome
EmOh this little golden eGye
Fighting every day behind the liDght, behind the lCight
EmWalking faster down the street red eGyes and no shoes on her feet
DGoing on this journey, deterCmined to complete.
EmThis is farewell, this is goodnight
GThe last time she will see the Ddaylight
See the daylCight
[Chorus 1]
And she's goiCng on a joGurney
Always wEmalking down the rDoad
And the waCter is always calGling
My little chEmild, please come hoDme
[Post-Chorus]
That's when she Emwent DawayG  
Away from the ligDht of dayC  
[Verse 2]
EmStanding by the riverGside
Patientelly waiting for the tide Dto come along
CTo come along
EmThe water going through her fGeet and on her body wind so coDld and sweet
CSo cold and sweet
[Chorus 1]
And she's goiCng on a joGurney
Always wEmalking down the rDoad
And the waCter is always calGling
My little chEmild, please come hoDme
[Chorus 2]
And the staCrs were brightly shiGning
When she reacEmhed out they were goDne
And the watCer started calGling
My little chEmild, please come hoDme
[Bridge]
EmFeel the water in her body, wDater's never going oCut x8
[Chorus 1]
And she's goiCng on a joGurney (water's never going out)
Always wEmalking down the rDoad (water's never going out)
And the waCter is always calGling (water's never going out)
My little chEmild, please come hoDme (water's never going out)
[Chorus 2]
And the staCrs were brightly shiGning (water's never going out)
When she reacEmhed out they were goDne (water's never going out)
And the watCer started calGling (water's never going out)
My little chEmild, please come hoDme (water's never going out)
[Outro]
EmWhen a shiny light hit her Geye
And she turned around and climDbed towards the sky
CTowards the sky
