Key:
D Asus4 A Bm F#m7 Off the coast of Africa, bound for South America
G Asus4 A A world away from here
D Asus4 A Bm F#m7 Is a ship that sails the sea, is a man who's just like me
G A G/D D A/D And I wish that I was there
D A/D C/D G I'm a lonely lighthouse, not a ship out in the night
A Bm I'm watching the sea
D A/D C/D G She's come halfway round the world to see the light
A7sus4 A G/D D A/D And to stay away from me
Bm A G D A/D G There is a shipwreck lying at my feet
Bm A G/D D A/D Some weary refugee from the rolling deep
Bm F#7sus4 F#7 Bm E7 Ah, could you lose it all and fall for me?
G/D Couldn't we shine?
Continues after the ad
D A/D C/D I'm rolling all my golden moments into one
G/D D A/D C/D Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day
G/D D A/D C/D Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
G/D D A/D C/D G/D Flashing on, flashing, fading away
D A/D C/D G Well if you feel lost and lonelyand don't know where to go
A Bm D And you hear this song on the radio
A/D C/D G Or even if you're feeling healthy and strong
A7sus4 A7 G D A/D You might like to sing along
Bm A G D A/D G But just because I might be standing here
Bm A G/D D A/D That don't mean I won't be wrong this time
Bm F#7sus4 F#7 Bm E7 You could follow me and lose your mind
G/D Couldn't we shine?
D A/D C/D Rolling all my golden moments into one
G/D D A/D C/D Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day
G/D D A/D C/D Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
G/D D A/D C/D G/D Flashing on, flashing, fading away
D Asus4 A Bm F#m7 Off the coast of Africa, bound for South America
G Asus4 A A world away from here
D Asus4 A Bm F#m7 Is a ship that sails the sea, is a man who's just like me
G A G/D D A/D C/D And I wish that I was there yeah yeah yeah
G/D D A/D C/D I'd like to shine like the sun for one more summer day
G/D D A/D C/D Shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night
G/D D A/D C/D See me flashing on, flashing, fading away
G/D D A/D C/D Repeat and fade with vocal ad lib
