[Intro]
G   Am Am7 Am   C   G
G   Am Am7 Am   C   G

[Verse 1]
           GThese new lines on my face
            GSpell out "girl pick up your pace
        Am                             DIf you want to stay true to what your younger self would do"

[Verse 2]
          GAnd this kink in my walk
          GMakes me focus when I talk
      AmIf I can't trust my feet
              D/A                D7Then it's my tongue I choose to keep

[Verse 3]
             GAnd I walk slow so I can read
        GLet my head fall, my hips lead
            AmWhy'd you write the words so small?
         D         Did you fool me, are they words at all?

[Verse 4]
        G     Or are you pulling down the veil
          G  Keeping grounded as you set my sail?
        AmBy the time I pull it off
       DAll my innocence is lost

[Verse 5]
            AmAnd oh I'm good, I think I'm good
            Fmaj7 Will I be great, will I be great?
       C                            GIs it money I wanna make or is it sweet love for his sake?

[Verse 6]
               GAnd these new parts I now need
            GTo help me function, help me feed
            AmThey are beyond my modest earnings
        DOh the girls they keep turning up the heat
   GAs if it's cold
         CBut I'm hot, too hot to hold
Am                                  D   I'll burn a hole right through the hull

[Chorus]
            AmWhen will I ever see the land?
       Fmaj7Will I ever see the land?
    COh water can't revive me
        GI need dirt in my hand
       AmWill I ever see the land?
       Fmaj7Will I ever see the land?
         COh the ground will give me something
    D            Dsus4 GI know that it can

[Interlude]
G   Am Am7 Am   C   G

[Verse 7]
             GSee I have charm and I have sight
         GAnd I always try and do what's right
            AmBut I have faults you know it's true
             D                D7Especially when it comes to treating you well

[Verse 8]
G                         GI will work when all my thoughts are mine again
           Am                              D   See I was sure at the start, turns out I tried too hard
            AmAnd oh I'm good, I think I'm good
            Fmaj7 Will I be great, will I be great?
       C                            G               Is it money I wanna make or is it sweet love 
     D      D7for his sake?

[Chorus]
            AmWhen will I ever see the land?
       Fmaj7Will I ever see the land?
    COh water can't revive me
        GI need dirt in my hand
       AmWill I ever see the land?
       Fmaj7Will I ever see the land?
         COh the ground will give me something
    D            Dsus4 GI know that it can
