          G
I've been following a compass that is always pointed south
                                  C
everybody says it's busted and sometimes I had my doubts
       D                                    C            G
but it led me through the wilderness and it led me to a town
       D                              C (step up on D, see below)
and it led me to your love and it has yet to let me down

B--------------------------
G------------0----2---4----
D---2----4-----------------
    yet  to  let  me  down


 Bridge/Chorus

      D          C       G
and I guess it's cold at night
    C    G         D          C    
and she strung my blood with light
        Em  E/B7 C       A
and she lines my cold with kites
        G        D         G
and she lines my cold with kites

boy, she [repeat intro]

frozen rooftop, podunk bar
she rose tip toes poking stars
screaming someone screwed the sky too tight
I laughed and filled my lungs with light
I wish I may I wish I might
she lined my cold with kites
boy, she

she got a sad little fiddle she draws that bad bow down
I'm gonna sail away on that landlocked sound
she got her ship in a bottle, boys what'll it be?
godspeed to the bottom of the bottom of that sea

Go on let it get as cold at night
she strung my blood with light
she lined my cold with kites
she lines my cold with kites

I've been following a compass that is always pointed south
everybody says it's busted and sometimes I had my doubts
but it led me through the wilderness and it led me to a town
and it led me to your love and it has yet to let me down
yet to let me down
