[Verse 1]
           Fmaj7          Fadd9                    C  Csus2  Cmaj7
We're on a family trip to seek out the edge of the world
   Fmaj7                   Fadd9                     C  Csus2  Cmaj7
We load up the car full of junk and set off down the road
     Fmaj7                          Fadd9                      C  Csus2  Cmaj7
Head pressed against glass watching days quickly pass and grow old
    Fmaj7                     Fadd9                   C  Csus2  Cmaj7
Not sure of the way but we'll get there someday I was told


[Chorus]
           G                        Fmaj7
Do all the lights intertwine at the edge of the world?
  G                    Fmaj7             C  Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7
I tell my mommy "I'm a lucky girl to be alive"


[Verse 2]
   Fmaj7               Fadd9                     C  Csus2  Cmaj7
We pull up the car and welcome the breeze in our hair
        Fmaj7                Fadd9                  C  Csus2  Cmaj7
But the sea lapses shore and seasons the condеnsing air
Fmaj7                       Fadd9                   C  Csus2  Cmaj7
Clouds swirl around and the rain patters down in despair (air)
   Fmaj7                   Fadd9                       C  Csus2  Cmaj7
We look for a sign but our hearts knew that no one was there


[Chorus]
        G                     Fmaj7
And the thunder erupts at the edge of the world
  G                  Fmaj7                C  Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7
I wonder if I am the luckiest girl to be alive


[Verse 3]
          Fmaj7                   Fadd9                 C  Csus2  Cmaj7
We found small plastic shells and held them in our tiny hands (oooh)
    Fmaj7                 Fadd9                C  Csus2  Cmaj7
The sea bit my ankles and gifted me old rubber bands (oooh)
Fmaj7                     Fadd9                 C  Csus2  Cmaj7
Rainbow reflections quell hard to my skin and remain (oooh)
Fmaj7                 Fadd9                   C  Csus2  Cmaj7
Barnacles peeled into rock pools and drifted away (oooh)


[Chorus]
    G                       Fmaj7
The kids disappear from the edge of the world
   G                        Fmaj7                 C
Perhaps they weren't coming home so I said my goodbyes
       Csus2          Cmaj7
Can we play? Far away? Wish we were home now
Fmaj7
Can we play? Far away? Wish we were home now
C      Csus2          Cmaj7
Can we play? Far away? Wish we were home now
Fmaj7
Can we play? Far away? Wish we were home now


[Bridge]
    G                       Fmaj7
The feathered friend wore a ring 'round his neck
G                           Fmaj7
Crashed in the sand and his wings were a wreck
  G                          Fmaj7
I held his hand and promised I was there
      G7                            C  Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7
As he took his last breath of fresh air


[Chorus]
         G                     Fmaj7
My heart sinks into ash on the edge of the world
  G                   Fmaj7             C  Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7
I don't believe I'm a lucky girl to be alive


[Outro]
     G                    Fmaj7
I'm standing alone at the edge of the world
G            Fmaj7  C
 Am I a lucky girl?
