[Intro – fingerpicked guitar, soft] D – Bm – G – A [Verse 1 – hushed, close-mic'd, tender] D Bm Miles of road between your door and mine, G A But I still hear you humming down the line, D Bm Your kitchen smells like every Sunday morning, G A Warm bread and love, and no need for a warning. [Verse 2] D Bm When I was small you taught me how to stand, G A You held the world like it fit in your hand, D Bm Now I'm grown and the world is wide and loud, G A But I find my way back through the crowd. [Pre-Chorus – building, voice opening up] Em G Every night I fall, every morning I rise, D/F# A With your quiet courage inside my eyes. [Chorus – full voice, drums and strings enter] D A Oumi, your voice is my compass, Bm G It points me home through every storm, D A Oumi, your love is my lantern, G A Keeping me safe, keeping me warm. [Verse 3 – stripped back, grateful] D Bm You never asked for anything in return, G A Just that I laugh and that I learn, D Bm You dried my tears with the edge of your sleeve, G A And taught me how to forgive and believe. [Pre-Chorus] Em G Every night I fall, every morning I rise, D/F# A With your quiet courage inside my eyes. [Chorus – bigger, emotional] D A Oumi, your voice is my compass, Bm G It points me home through every storm, D A Oumi, your love is my lantern, G A Keeping me safe, keeping me warm. [Bridge – nearly a cappella, then building] Bm G If I could give you back the sky, D A Every star you hung for me to find, Bm G I'd say thank you for the bedtime song, D A For being home when I was wrong. [Final Chorus – full band, strings, voice soaring] D A Oumi, your voice is my compass, Bm G It points me home through every storm, D A Oumi, your love is my lantern, G A And I'll carry it, wherever I'm born. [Outro – guitar alone, whispered, fading] D – A – G – D (Oumi... I'm coming home)
