G
Packed and all eyes turned in, no 
one to see on the key
                  Em
No one waving for me just the 
shoreline receding
C                               D
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish 
I didn't hand it in

G
Cause who said sailing is fine?
Leaving behind all the faces that I 
        Em
might replace if I tried on that 
long ride
C                                 
Looking deep inside but I don't want
D
 to look so deep inside yet

G                                
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave
Em
 bye
                       C        
There might not be another star, 
            D
farther on the line
G                                 
Look out, look out at each town 
     Em
that glides by
                    C              
And there's another crowd, to drown
       D
 in crying eyes

     G                             
And see how that light you love now
       Em
 just won't shine
C
There might just be another star
                             G   
That's high and far in some other 
  D
sky

          G
We sing, is that marionette real 
enough yet to step off of that set
      Em
And decide what a dance might mean 
to it
C                              D
Ruining the place where the ensuing 
may lay escape
      G
We packed up all of our bags the 
ship's deck now sags
From the weight of our tracks as we 
 Em
pace beneath flags
                      C        
Black and battered rattling our 
                       D
swords in service of some fated, 
foreign, war

        G
And we sail out on order of him
    Em                        C
But we find that the maps he sent to
 us
                     D
Don't mention lost coastlines
          G                      
Where nothing we've actually seen 
                       Em
has been mapped or outlined
                 C              
And we don't recognize the names 
        G     D
upon strange signs
           G                       
And every night finds us rocking 
                         Em
and rolling on waves wild and wide
              C                    
Well we have lost our way, nobody's
               G   D
 gonna say it outright

         G
Just go la la, la la la la
Em           C      D
La la la la, oh oh oh
         G
Just go la la, la la la la
Em           C      D
La la la la, oh oh oh
