Amélie The Musical - Halfway Chords

[Verse 1]
C        F        C
In my mother's schoolhouse
F                  C
I would sit at the kitchen table
     Dm                       C
And listen to her teach geometry
    F                 C
She taught me about distance
       F             C                  Dm
She taught a lesson about a boat that is sailing the sea
     Em                   F
Trying to get from point A to B
 
[Prechorus 1]
           Am         G         F
So the little boat's travelling at full sail
           Am       G          F
And it's trying to reach the shore
        Am         G          F
But whenever the boat gets halfway there
          Em             F
There is always halfway more
 
 
[Chorus]
      Am
Take half of half
      Em
And half of that
     Am           D
And on and on and so
 
                Em   Am
In my mother's schoolhouse
 
          F         G      C
There is always halfway to go
 
[Verse 2]
         F       C    F
At the kitchen table
         C
I once folded a paper boat
      Dm                 C
And floated it down the tabletop
F                C
Halfway to my mother
   F                C
It sailed into her coffee cup
           Dm
Where she crumpled it up
C
Threw it away
F
And told me to stop
 
[Prechorus 2]
           Am         G        F
So the little boat's trying to get to her
         Am       G        F
But the table is deep and wide
       Am       G            F
The lesson I learned from my mother
        Em             F
Was to see the great divide
 
[Chorus]
      Am
Take half of half
     Em
And half of that
     Am            D
And on and on and so
 
                C
At the kitchen table
 
          Em  F      G     Am
There was always halfway to go
 
To go
 
[Verse 3]
       F            C
Little boat, big ocean
       F            C        F
I'm a girl with a copper spyglass
      Dm                       F        C
Who prays that today she will spot her shore
F                   C
All at once a lighthouse
F                       C
All at once through the copper spyglass
     Dm                 F           C
A light telling me to learn in on the oar
F
I start to row
 
[Prechorus 3]
     Am       G       F
But before I can get anywhere
     Am      G        F
From point A to point B
     Am     G       F
I am at the kitchen table
           Em           F
Where I'll always be at sea
 
[Chorus]
     Am
Take half of half
    Em
And half of that
    Am             D
No matter where I row
 
                C
Little boat big ocean
 
                Em
Little boat big ocean
 
          F       G        Am
There is always halfway to go
   Am    F
To go
