A   E   B 
 
Verse 
E                    C#m                B 
Can't get lost 'cause I can navigate by stars 
                      A             E                 B 
I can build you a lean-to, keep you warm and dry till dawn 
E                    C#m                   B 
What's the cost, trying to find out who we are 
                      A              E           B      A 
Maybe we didn't mean to but still we got it going on 
 
Verse 
   E                   B         C#m         B         A 
Up north, well off the highway away from the noise and lights 
     E                   B                  C#m       B         A 
Wild sounds as hard they try they can't contain themselves all night 
      E                 B                   C#m       B        A 
Hold still, try to pretend that there's no reason we'd ever go back 
    E                B 
It's home and I will defend it 
 
          E                 C#m         B 
Can't get lost 'cause I can navigate by stars 
                  A                 E                 B 
I can build you a lean-to, keep you warm and dry till dawn 
           E         C#m                 B 
What's the cost, trying to find out who we are 
                 A                  E             B    A 
Maybe we didn't mean to but still we got it going on 
 
Verse 
 E                     B                C#m          B          A 
Drift on, don't try to attach this, don't dare try to get it to stop 
     E                 B             C#m       B           A 
Deep blue is fading to blackness, sinking, the temperature drops 
   E               B        C#m          B             A 
No ride on the horizon, feels like you're floating in space 
    E          B 
No time, no hesitation

            E                  C#m        B 
I can't get lost 'cause I can navigate by stars
