INTRO: C  Gm7  (4x)

   Am                C               F
He called as soon as he hit New York City
    Am               Am7         F        C   Cadd9 G
The highway was like ice and the wind was turning   cold
   F                             G
He wanted me to know how much he missed me
       Am                Bb           G
And my picture keeps him going on the lonely road


CHORUS:
C    Dm7
True north
       C                 F
That's where my one star lies
C    Dm7
True north
   C    F       G
If only I could fly
   Bb               F       G              Am   C   F
My heart would be a compass leading to his side____
        C    Gm7    C  Gm7  C  Gm7  C  Gm7  
Heading true north


   Am               C                F
He called a hundred miles west of Chicago
   Am              Am7             F      C  Cadd9 G
He said it must be snowing all the way to Tennes---see
  F                                    G
I couldn't bear to say, back here it's springtime
     Am                    Bb           G
What good is this southern sun when the one for me is


CHORUS:
C    Dm7
True north
       C                 F
That's where my one star lies
C    Dm7
True north
   C    F       G
If only I could fly
   Bb               F       G              Am   C   F
My heart would be a compass leading to his side____

                     **Key Change - Down 2 Semitones**


    Am                C                F
Sometimes I count the miles that run between us
  Am            Am7             F       C   Cadd9 G
I lie awake and wonder how much farther can we    go
   F                                G
He called last night from outside Seattle
                Am             Bb           G
Said, there's a star up in the sky that our love can follow


CHORUS:
C    Dm7
True north
       C                 F
That's where my one star lies
C    Dm7
True north
   C    F       G
If only I could fly
    Bb             F         G               Am   C   F
I'd be the fastest bird that ever graced the sky_____
