[verse]
G                          C        D
Standing on the shore of a northern lake,
    G                          C          D
The rocks beneath her feet, it feels like home.
    Bm                    C
She left her shoes in the house on purpose,
Am             Cm
Dips one toe beneath the surface,
G                             C             D             G
Sending circle signals to the moose and the woods and the moon.


[verse]
G                       C        D
Sitting on the bed in a northern room
    G                             C        D
The window’s open wide so she can hear the loon
      Bm                    C
Who’s call comes in like it has for years,
Am                        Cm
The dog at her feet perks up his ears
G                                 C               D        G
They’re growing up together on the shores of this northern lake.

[chorus]
        Em           Am          C             D
And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow
        G              Em          C               D
And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow
        G             Em           C              D
And the time loves to stand in the tall grass and watch
       G             Em           C             D              G
As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.


[verse] 
G                         C        D
Floating on her back in a northern lak
G                        C    D
Staring at the sky, late afternoon,
Bm                      C
When the water splashes over her ears
    Am                   Cm
The sound of glaciers is all she hears.
    G                              C                  D            G
The smell of dinner cooking blows across the lawn and lands in her smile.


[chorus]
        Em           Am          C             D
And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow
        G              Em          C               D
And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow
        G             Em         C              D
And the time loves to sit on the back porch and watch
       G             Em           C             D              Em  G
As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.


[bridge]
        Am    C
This is home.
           Em  G
Feels like home.
        Am  C D
This is home.
 


[chorus]
        Em           Am          C             D
And the sun loves to rise as the moon loves to glow
        G              Em          C               D
And the clouds love to part as the breeze loves to blow
        G             Em         C              D
And the time loves to lie on the hammock and watch
       G             Em           C             D              G
As she stands on the rocks on the shore of this lake she calls home.
