Fm                               C#    G#
We can build a tree-house in the pine trees
Fm                             C#    G#
We can keep our secrets buried underneath
Fm                                 C# G#
Wild flowers crushed between your fingers
Fm                                D#    G#
Clinging to the wild things that raised us

C#
Compass points you home,
        D#            Fm
Calling out from the east
C#
Compass points you anywhere
D#         Fm
Closer to me
C#
If we make it out alive
         D#             Fm
From the depths of the sea
C#
Compass points you anywhere
D#         G#
Closer to me

Chorus:
          Fm          C# G#
Where you are, I will be
      Fm           C#  G#
Miles high, in the deep
          Fm      C#    G#
Where you are, I will be
    Fm           C# G#
Anywhere, in between

Take me to the garden of your ecstasy
Make myself a headband from your fallen leaves
Woven in the fabric of your tapestry
Cover me in honeysuckle memories

Compass points you home
Calling out from the east
Compass points you anywhere
Closer to me
If we make it out alive
From the depths of the sea
Compass points you anywhere
Closer to me

Chorus

C#
I will take the pieces, put them back together
Fm                         G#
Even when the grass isn't green enough
C#
Taking all the branches, build ourselves a mansion
Fm                           G#
Love you in the way that you needed love
           Fm         C# G#
Where you are, I will be

Chorus
