Intro: G,C,G,C,G,C,D 

G 
I found a map and it broke my heart 
  
I didn't know that I'd ever go this far  
                                          D 
With a compass point driving ink into my arm  

G 
The father, son and the holy ghost  

Don't talk too much, never been that close  
                                             D 
Pouring spirits while I follow the Northern star  


Cadd9                 G 
And as the birds fly south  
Em7                      G 
I've been missing a small house  
Cadd9              G                 D 
That holds all my words in precious store  
            Cadd9          G       Em7     G    
I found your message at the bottom of a bottle  
G          Em7          Cadd9       D          G 
Come back to where the streets are paved with stone  


Cadd9       G 
I believe in you 
Em7          G  
You believe in me 
Cadd9           G              D  
You're the lighthouse in the storm  
Cadd9              G 
I've believe it's true  
Em7           G   
I can follow you  
G      Em7         Cadd9        D          G 
Back to where the streets are paved with stone  


G 
I'd swap the scent of open ocean  

There for the factory steel and the engineers  
                                      D 
Well I'm coming back to something beautiful  

G 
All the noise and all the lights  

Are all the things I'd sacrifice  
                                      D 
I'd trade it for the way you make me feel  


Cadd9                 G 
And as the days they pass 
Em7                        G  
Falling through the hour glass  
            Cadd9         G           D 
Used to be beneath my feet along the shore  
Cadd9           G                 Em7           G 
I find your message lying at the bottom of a bottle  
G            Em7          Cadd9     D           G 
Come back to where the streets are paved with stone  

Cadd9       G 
I believe in you 
Em7          G  
You believe in me 
Cadd9           G              D  
You're the lighthouse in the storm  
Cadd9              G 
I've believe it's true  
Em7           G   
I can follow you  
G      Em7         Cadd9        D          G 
Back to where the streets are paved with stone  

Cadd9 
Once around the world 
G  
Once around the world 
Em7  
Once around the world 
D   
Back to you  

Cadd9 
Once around the world 
G  
Once around the world 
Em7  
Once around the world 
D   
Back to you

You believe in me 
Cadd9           G              D  
You're the lighthouse in the storm  
Cadd9              G 
I've believe it's true  
Em7           G   
I can follow you  
G      Em7         Cadd9        D          G 
Back to where the streets are paved with stone 

G      Em7         Cadd9        D          G 
Back to where the streets are paved with stone  

Cadd9            G 
Once around the world,  
Em7              D 
Once around the world
