C F
True north is hard to find
C F
These long, long nights play tricks upon the mind
G C F Dm7
I tried my best, but I'm lost I guess
C G
What I thought was freedom was just aimlessness
CHORUS:
C G-C
Now I'm waiting for Amelia
Am
To come in from the west
Dm7 D7sus2-D7sus2-Dm7
I'm waiting for Amelia
C G
And the light is fading fast
C G-C
Come on, Amelia
Am
You have got this battle won
Dm7 G7 C Am7 C F
You know that only angels fly into the sun (lord)
C F
I have never learned to wait
C F
I yearn for skies my heart can't navigate
G C F Dm7
It's been so long since I held someone
C G
And all my dreams of freedom, they don't keep me warm
CHORUS:
