Intro 
G Am Am7 Am C G 
G Am Am7 Am C G 

verse 1 
           G 
These new lines on my face 
            G 
Spell out "girl pick up your pace 
        Am                             D 
If you want to stay true to what your younger self would do" 

verse 2 
          G 
And this kink in my walk 
          G 
Makes me focus when I talk 
      Am 
If I can't trust my feet 
              D/A                D7 
Then it's my tongue I choose to keep 

verse 3 
             G 
And I walk slow so I can read 
        G 
Let my head fall, my hips lead 
            Am 
Why'd you write the words so small? 
         D          
Did you fool me, are they words at all? 

verse 4 
        G      
Or are you pulling down the veil 
          G   
Keeping grounded as you set my sail? 
        Am 
By the time I pull it off 
       D 
All my innocence is lost 

Verse 5 
            Am 
And oh I'm good, I think I'm good 
            Fmaj7  
Will I be great, will I be great? 
       C                            G 
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love for his sake? 

Verse 6 
               G 
And these new parts I now need 
            G 
To help me function, help me feed 
            Am 
They are beyond my modest earnings 
        D 
Oh the girls they keep turning up the heat 
   G 
As if it's cold 
         C 
But I'm hot, too hot to hold 
Am                                  D    
I'll burn a hole right through the hull 
 
            Am 
When will I ever see the land? 
       Fmaj7 
Will I ever see the land? 
    C 
Oh water can't revive me 
        G 
I need dirt in my hand 
       Am 
Will I ever see the land? 
       Fmaj7 
Will I ever see the land? 
         C 
Oh the ground will give me something 
    D            Dsus4 G 
I know that it can 

Interlude 
G   Am Am7 Am   C   G 

Verse 7 
             G 
See I have charm and I have sight 
         G 
And I always try and do what's right 
            Am 
But I have faults you know it's true 
             D                D7 
Especially when it comes to treating you well 

Verse 8 
G                         G 
I will work when all my thoughts are mine again 
           Am                              D    
See I was sure at the start, turns out I tried too hard 
            Am 
And oh I'm good, I think I'm good 
            Fmaj7  
Will I be great, will I be great? 
       C                            G                
Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love  
     D      D7 
for his sake? 

            Am 
When will I ever see the land? 
       Fmaj7 
Will I ever see the land? 
    C 
Oh water can't revive me 
        G 
I need dirt in my hand 
       Am 
Will I ever see the land? 
       Fmaj7 
Will I ever see the land? 
         C 
Oh the ground will give me something 
    D            Dsus4 G 
I know that it can
