I list-en to the wind,
Asus7 A7 Asus7 D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7
To the wind of my soul,
D5 D4 D D2 G6
Where IÂ’ll end up, well, I think,

Only God reall-y knows,
G A G A D Em G Em G A4 A
IÂ’ve sat upon the sett-ing sun, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er,
G A G A D D2 D
I never wanted wat-er once-------,

No, never, nev-er, nev-er!

I let my music take me

Where my heart wants to go,
G A G A D Em G Em G A4 A
I swam upon the dev-ilÂ’s lake, but never, nev-er, nev-er, nev-er,

IÂ’ll never make the same mis-take-------,
Em G Em A G D5 D4 D D2 G6 Asus7 A7 Asus7 A7 Asus7
No, never, nev-er, nev-er!
