A#m/C#              D#m
I've never seen the Northern Lights,
G#                  A#m/C#
I've never seen the snow
A#m/C#                    D#m
I never walked across the ice
G#                   A#m/C#
I ignore the ocean's flow

G#m       D#m                C#
Where I'm born is where I'll die
G#m     D#m              C#
Where I live is where I cry

My children left on a cold night
My husband said it’s how things go
Like rabbits blinded by the light
Kids want a better place to grow

Chorus:
G#m       D#m                C#
Where I'm born is where I'll die
G#m     D#m              C#
Where I live is where I cry
A#m
To forget that I never cheated
Fm/G#
That I tried to be strong
Fm                                F#
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
G#         A#m
To forget that I never followed
Fm/G#                 Fm/G
That man that I adored
Fm                               F#  G#
Who promised me pretty sins and gold

And I'm waiting for the sun
And I'm waiting for the sun

I will never be out of sight
I’ll never feel the snow
I’ll never reach the truth of lies
I’m just watching the flowers grow

Chorus:
Where I’m born is where I’ll die
At night I can't sleep when I try
To forget that I never cheated
That I tried to be strong
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
To forget that I never followed
That man that I adored
Who promised me pretty sins and gold

And I’m waiting for the sun
And I’m waiting for the sun

Chorus:
To forget that I never cheated
When I tried to be strong
No matter how wise I was, I feel wrong
To forget that I never followed
That man that I adored
Who promised me pretty sins and gold

And I’m waiting for the sun
And I’m waiting for the sun
