G/A
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key. No one waving for
Em/F#m C/D D/E
me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I
G/A
didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the
Em/F#m C/D
faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep
D/E
inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet.
G/A Em/F#m C/D
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye, there might not be another star,
G/A G/A Em/F#m
farther on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and
C/D G/A G/A
there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that light you
Em/F#m C/D
love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high
G/A D/E
and far in some other sky.
G/A
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set and
Em/F#m C/D D/E
decide what a dance might mean to it. Ruining the place where the ensuing
G/A
may lay escape. We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from
Em/F#m
the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered
C/D D/E
rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war.
G/A Em/F#m
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him but we find that the maps he
C/D G/A G/A
sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen
Em/F#m C/D
has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon strange
G/A
signs.
G/A Em/F#m
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well
C/D G/A D/E G/A
we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la...
etc...
