              Intro: C  F  Am  G
 
 
verse 1 
C                      F 
   It must have been a year since 
Am                        G              C 
   I was thrown across an ocean far from home 
                    F 
   And I was making oceans 
Am               G                 C 
   Riding in between the highs and lows 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
  F Am      G                   C 
Woah, when awake in the morning I 
  F Am                   G 
You   is the first on my mind 
 
 
 
C                 F 
Maybe what I miss most 
   Am             G 
It wasn't made of steel and stones 
    C                 F 
And maybe what I miss most 
   Am             G 
It wasn't born of skin and bone 
C              F 
Under the sun, up on the waves 
Am                      G 
Under three climbs when I'm far away 
C                 F     Am 
Maybe what I miss most 
 
 
Hook 
    G                       C  F  Am 
And maybe you'll never know 
 
    G                       C  F  Am 
And maybe you'll never know 
 
    G 
And maybe you'll never know 
 
 
verse 2 
C                  F 
   Life beyond the window 
Am                    G                  C 
   I'm jealous of the way the black bird flies 
                  F 
   Free among the people 
Am                       G               C 
   Those quarter million stories pass me by 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 F Am    G                     C 
Woah, I awake in the moonlight I 
 F Am        G 
You   is the last on my mind 
 
 
 
C                 F 
Maybe what I miss most 
   Am             G 
It wasn't made of steel and stones 
    C                 F 
And maybe what I miss most 
   Am             G 
It wasn't born of skin and bone 
C              F 
Under the sun, up on the waves 
Am                      G 
Under three climbs when I'm far away 
C                 F     Am 
Maybe what I miss most 
 
 
Hook 
    G                       C  F  Am 
And maybe you'll never know 
    G                       C  F  Am 
And maybe you'll never know 
    G 
And maybe you'll never know 
 
 
Bridge 
C            F 
   I remember on the table 
Am                 G 
   All those faces, where did they go? 
C           F 
   I imagine how it looks like 
Am              G 
   When I'm not there 
C             F 
   I remember, every summer 
Am                        G 
   But now that years are, just a number 
C 
   There's no backroots 
F                      Am                      G 
   Time is faster with everything I've left behind 
 
 
 
    C                 F 
And maybe what I miss most 
   Am             G 
It wasn't made of steel and stones 
    C                 F 
And maybe what I miss most 
   Am             G 
It wasn't born of skin and bone 
      C              F 
Cause under the sun, up on the waves 
Am                     G 
Under three climbs and I'm far away 
C                 F     Am 
Maybe what I miss most 
 
 
Outro 
    G                       C  F  Am 
And maybe you'll never know 
    G                       C  F  Am 
And maybe you'll never know 
    G                       C 
And maybe you'll never know
