I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you



Chorus:
(Strum Chords)

      C         G                D         G
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are

           C        Em                   Am  G      D
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars

            C     G             D      Em
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
