[Verse 1]
D/F#       G                       A
All of our dreams are laid out and measured
D/F#       G          Bm         A
Arrows and pins and a rainbow of threads
D/F#           G            G        A/C#
Like hope on a string, sewn into the linings
        D/F#       G        Bm   D      A
For the courage to face the un - known ahe-ad

[Chorus]
D/F#  G            Bm    A
        My soul compan - ion
D/F#  G            A         D/F#   G
        Out in the world somewhere
           Bm    A
My soul compan - ion
D/F#  G               A
        I'll meet you there

D/F#  G  Bm  A
D/F#  G  Bm  A

[Verse 2]
    D/F#       G                    A
I'm packing my compass, trusted and tested
   D/F#      G             Bm  A
My dog-eared maps to study and fold
D/F#   G                     A
Into a pocket, I'm traveling light now
D/F#        G                Bm  A
All that we have is all that we  hold


[Chorus]
D/F#  G            Bm    A
        My soul companion
D/F#  G       A         D/F#  G
        In my heart you are

D/F#  G            Bm    A
D/F#  G            Bm    A
        My soul companion
D/F#  G                  A
        Ooh, just like a star


[Bridge]
Em                    D             A
 There are no borders, there are no boundaries
Em                   D    A
 There are no fences  up around me
Em               D           A
 But I get quiet,  and I get lonely
Em              D
 Just like everyone

[Verse 3]
D/F#          G          Bm            A
These are the old roads, these are the stations
D/F#          G                       A
I look for my ride, you wait for your train
D/F#          G          Bm          A
These are the chances, a life's incantations
D/F#          G                          A
These are the places that don't know our names



[Chorus]
D/F#  G            Bm    A
        My soul companion
D/F#  G                A       D/F#  G
        Love finds its own way in
        Bm    A
My soul companion
D/F#  G              A
        Now let us begin
D/F#  G            Bm    A
        My soul companion
D/F#  G            A         D/F#   G
        Out in the world somewhere
           Bm    A
My soul companion
D/F#  G             Bm    A
        I will meet you there
