Following My Compass
Easy version, no capo, open chords
[Verse 1]
GI am a nAmavigator Dof the seas
GI built the oAmcean from my teDars
GI go whichAmever way the wiDnd might bAmlow
AmI've been drDifting for what seAmems a hundred yCmaj7ears
Dtragically not kAmnowing I could sDteer
[Verse 2]
Gthe waves feel Amlike a love I tDhought I knew
GI hold my Ambreath while we asceDnd
Gand love is Amnothing but a Dmemory nAmow
Amlike the Dport of every Amplace I've ever Cmaj7been
Cmaj7and the sDails feel liAmke my only frieDnd
[Chorus]
GI've been Amlooking for a sDpecial place
Gjust for Amme and no one eDlse
Gand if you Amwant me you can fDind me
AmI'll be cDrossing the AtlAmantic without cCmaj7harts
Cmaj7I'm the FDerdinand MagAmellan of these pCmaj7arts
Cmaj7I'm just folloAmwing my compDass
Cmaj7following my cAmompass in the dGark
[Verse 3]
Gthe wind is Amwith me under cDoral skies
Gand in my Amwake I leave behiDnd
Ga trail of oAmthers who will nDever sAmeek
Amand becauDse they never Amseek, they never Cmaj7find
Dand they argue that it's Amall a waste of Dtime
[Verse 4]
Gtoday marks tweAmnty years of enDdless seas
Gand true I'm Amweathered from her sDtorms
Gmy sails are rAmagged but my sDights are Amset
Amon the Dcomfort of a mAmore forgiving shCmaj7ore
Cmaj7and a lDife that's mAmore worth living fDor
[Chorus]
GI've been Amlooking for a sDpecial place
Gjust for Amme and no one eDlse
Gand if you Amwant me you can fDind me
AmI'll be cDrossing the AtlAmantic without cCmaj7harts
Cmaj7I'm the FDerdinand MagAmellan of these pCmaj7arts
Cmaj7I'm just folloAmwing my compDass
Cmaj7following my cAmompass in the dGark
[Repeat chorus]
GI've been Amlooking for a sDpecial place
Gjust for Amme and no one eDlse
Gand if you Amwant me you can fDind me
AmI'll be cDrossing the AtlAmantic without cCmaj7harts

Following My Compass

Easy version, no capo, open chords

[Verse 1]

G Am D

I am a navigator of the seas

G Am D

I built the ocean from my tears

G Am D Am

I go whichever way the wind might blow

Am D Am Cmaj7

I've been drifting for what seems a hundred years

D Am D

tragically not knowing I could steer

[Verse 2]

G Am D

the waves feel like a love I thought I knew

G Am D

I hold my breath while we ascend

G Am D Am

and love is nothing but a memory now

Am D Am Cmaj7

like the port of every place I've ever been

Cmaj7 D Am D

and the sails feel like my only friend

[Chorus]

G Am D

I've been looking for a special place

G Am D

just for me and no one else

G Am D

and if you want me you can find me

Am D Am Cmaj7

I'll be crossing the Atlantic without charts

Cmaj7 D Am Cmaj7

I'm the Ferdinand Magellan of these parts

Cmaj7 Am D

I'm just following my compass

Cmaj7 Am G

following my compass in the dark

[Verse 3]

G Am D

the wind is with me under coral skies

G Am D

and in my wake I leave behind

G Am D Am

a trail of others who will never seek

Am D Am Cmaj7

and because they never seek, they never find

D Am D

and they argue that it's all a waste of time

[Verse 4]

G Am D

today marks twenty years of endless seas

G Am D

and true I'm weathered from her storms

G Am D Am

my sails are ragged but my sights are set

Am D Am Cmaj7

on the comfort of a more forgiving shore

Cmaj7 D Am D

and a life that's more worth living for

[Chorus]

G Am D

I've been looking for a special place

G Am D

just for me and no one else

G Am D

and if you want me you can find me

Am D Am Cmaj7

I'll be crossing the Atlantic without charts

Cmaj7 D Am Cmaj7

I'm the Ferdinand Magellan of these parts

Cmaj7 Am D

I'm just following my compass

Cmaj7 Am G

following my compass in the dark

[Repeat chorus]

G Am D

I've been looking for a special place

G Am D

just for me and no one else

G Am D

and if you want me you can find me

Am D Am Cmaj7

I'll be crossing the Atlantic without charts

Cmaj7 D Am Cmaj7

I'm the Ferdinand Magellan of these parts

Cmaj7 Am D

I'm just following my compass

Cmaj7 Am G

following my compass in the dark
