F# B
[Verse 1]
F# B F#Ran out the door some years ago.
BM7 C# D#m7Slinging words at my old man like thistles and stones.
F# B F#Said "No need to worry, I'll never come home."
BM7 C# F# BMy mom crying "Don't go," as I raced down the road.
[Verse 2]
F# B F#Straight through 'til sun fell I kept up the pace,
BM7 C# D#m7'til darkness embraced me and I lost my way.
F# B F#Weary from travel and wet from the rain,
BM7 C# F#I stopped at a tavern in Broken Mast Bay.
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# C#Where a rough-cut man
B F# C# C#sus4Said, "What's your business, lad?"
[Chorus]
F# B F#"I can't find my way back home.
B C# D#mIt's cold, it's dark, I'm all alone."
F# B F#He said "My boy, you're not lost yet.
B C# F#Just follow the compass that beats in your chest."
B F# B
[Verse 3]
F# Bsus2 F#12 years had gone as a wandering man,
B C# D#mSearching for meaning in far distant lands.
F# B F#Defied kings and queens and with foes, raised a glass,
B C# F#And fell for an outlaw named "Katie McMahon."
[Verse 4]
F# B F#Oh, we sailed the sea seeking mountains of gold,
B C# D#mAnd fountains of youth from the stories of old.
F# B F#Escaped from the perils and monsters below,
B C# F#But after it all we had nothin' to show.
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# C#Then Katie said "my love...
B F# C# C#sus4Our journey's just begun."
[Chorus]
F# B F#"We can make our way back home.
B C# D#mI'm here with you, you're not alone.
F# B F#I'll fight with you 'til our last breath,
B C# F#To follow the compass that beats in our chest."
B F#
[Bridge]
D#m C# B F#So we traded swords, our sails, and oars
G#m7 C#For a simple life.
D#m C# B F#20 years she never left my side
G#m7 C#sus4 C#'Til she passed one night.
[Chorus]
F# B F#Well my love, you made it home,
B C# D#mWithout you here, I'm so alone.
F# B F#But I will fight 'til my last breath,
B C# D#m7'Cause you are the compass that beats in my chest.
[Outro]
B C# F#Yeah, you are the compass that beats in my chest.
