[Verse]
G
Packed and all eyes turned in, no 
one to see on the quay, No one 
waving for
Em                            
me just the shoreline receding. 
  C                              D
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish 
I
                         G
didn't hand it in. Cause who said 
sailing is fine? leaving behind all 
the
                     Em        
faces that I might replace if I 
                          C
tried on that long ride, looking 
deep
                   D
inside but I don`t want to look so 
deep inside yet.
G                                 
Sit down, sit down on the prow to 
     Em                       C
wave bye, there might not be another
 star, {pause}
               G     G            
further on the line. Look out, 
                         Em
look out at each town that glides 
by, and
         C                         
there's another crowd, to drown in 
       G
crying eyes.


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
    G                              
And see how that light you love now
            Em                     
 just won`t shine, there might just
     C
 be another star, that`s high
                      G  D
and far in some other sky.


[Verse]
          G
We sing, "is that marionette real 
enough yet to step off of that set 
to
  Em                          
decide what her hands might be 
        C                        
doing. Ruining the play to in the 
    D
ensuing
                  G
melee escape". We packed up all of 
our bags the ship's deck now sags 
from
                               Em
the weight of our tracks as we pace 
beneath flags black and battered
C                              D
rattling our swords in service of 
some faded, foreign lord.

   G                               
We sail out on order from him but 
  Em
we find the maps he
C                           
sent to us don't mention lost 
       G            G
coastlines. Where nothing we've 
actually seen
                      Em           
has been mapped or outlined and we 
        C
don't recognize the names upon these
G
signs.

          G                        
And every night finds us rocking 
                            Em
and rolling on waves wild and wide, 
well
        C                          
we have lost our way, nobody`s 
            G   D       G        
gonna say it outright. Just go la
         Em         ...
 la la la la la la la la...  (x2)
