[Verse]
G
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay, No one waving for
Em C D
me just the shoreline receding. 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 C
faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep
D
inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet.
G Em C
Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye, there might not be another star, {pause}
G G Em
further on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and
C G
there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes.
[Chorus]
G Em C
And see how that light you love now just won`t shine, there might just 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 C D
decide what her hands might be doing. Ruining the play to in the 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 Em
We sail out on order from him but we find the maps he
C G G
sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen
Em C
has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon these
G
signs.
[Outro]
G Em
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well
C G D G Em ...
we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la... (x2)
