Full Song Lyrics:
Verse: [G] [Em] [C] [D]
[G] We’re on the open road, [Em] driving through the night,
[C] Chasing dreams and [D] setting sights.
[G] Underneath the stars, we [Em] share our deepest fears,
[C] Shedding old skin, [D] wiping away the years.
Chorus: [C] [G] [D] [Em]
[C] Hearts Unchartered, we’re [G] on a clear journey,
[D] Through trials and triumphs, [Em] through love and worry.
[C] We’ve got each other, [G] under this wide starry canopy,
[D] In this life [Em] we’re just, [C] hearts unchartered on a clear [G] journey.
Verse: [G] [Em] [C] [D]
[G] There’s no map for this, [Em] we make our own way,
[C] Stumbling, [D] learning every day.
[G] In the rearview mirror, [Em] we leave our past behind,
[C] In search of treasures [D] we’re yet to find.
(Chorus repeats)
