f f c a . . a g f d d
I’m a phoenix in the water
f c a g f g
A fish that’s learnt to fly
f f c a . a g f d d
And I’ve always been a daughter
f f f . . f f e d d
But feathers are meant for the sky

f f c a a g f d d
So I’m wishing , wishing further
f f f c a . g f g
For the excitement to arrive
f f f c a . . a a g f c
It’s just I’d rather be causing the chaos
a a g# g f f f f . . . a f . f . .
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

f f d . f f f g a . .
With every small disaster
f f f f . . c . . a g
I’ll let the waters still
f f f f f . .
Take me away
g a . a (linked) c a g . . .
to some place real

g a c d .
Cause they say home
c d c d e d c c d
is where your heart is set in stone
d e d . . d d c c a c a ( f )
Is where you go when you’re alone
a a . . c d c c a g g g . .
Is where you go to rest your bones

c c d . . c d . . e d c c a c d
It’s not just where you lay your head
e d e d c c a
It’s not just where you make your bed
g a g a g a c c a . . g g
As long as we’re together ,
g a g a g f d f g
does it matter where we go?
