Title:

“Chasing Horizons”

Full song lyrics with chord progression:

(Verse 1)
Am
Down the road, past the line,
G
Where the sun kisses the skyline,
F
We’ve got dreams bigger than the sea,
C
Chasing horizons, just you and me.

(Chorus)
Am G
We’re chasing horizons, oh so far,
F C
Wherever we land, that’s where we are.
Am G
With the wind in our hair, under the star,
F C
Chasing horizons, no matter how far.

(Verse 2)
Am
Over mountains, across the plains,
G
Through the sunshine, and the rains.
F
You and I, in this hitchhiker’s car,
C
Chasing horizons, near and far.

(Chorus)
Am G
We’re chasing horizons, oh so high,
F C
Underneath the moonlight, beneath the sky.
Am G
With the maps in our hands, we’ll touch the star,
F C
Chasing horizons, no matter how far.

(Bridge)
Am G
Where we’re going, we don’t know,
F C
But together, we’ll find a way to grow.
Am G
In this journey, we’ve come so far,
F C
Chasing horizons, that’s who we are.

(Chorus)
Am G
We’re chasing horizons, oh so far,
F C
Wherever we land, that’s where we are.
Am G
With the wind in our hair, under the star,
F C
Chasing horizons, no matter how far.
