C                                        G
King of the ocean, riding the seven seas
                                              C
And every thought of you is floating on the breeze
                                       G
Every thought of you is floating on the breeze
C                                             G
Left to find kingdoms, but leaving a kingdom behind
                                          C
And every thought of you is always on my mind
                                      G
Every thought of you is always on my mind

[Chorus]
          Emi      D               C        G
Oh, your memory's stronger than a thousand ships
                   D
Of war to call me home
                 Emi       D                 C      G
And though it's glory I'm chasing, its from glory I run
      Ami         C        G
'Cos those glory days are done

[Refrain]
             C                                    G
But I won't break, even when the Earth around me shakes
                                                      Emi
And the things that have built us up have brought us down
                                            C    G
Sometimes you have to leave the things you love, for love
              C                                          G
Your siren's sigh, your whisper always louder than your cry
                                   Emi
But your memory lives long beyond goodbye
                                                C    G
But I know that I have to leave and can't come back, for you
       
         Ami          C
Ahhhhhh-Ahhhh-Ahhhhh-Ahhhhh
           G
Ahhhhh-Ah-Ahhhh


[Verse]
    C                                                 G
Oh remember the winters, light hearts and the lonely trees,
                                           C
They're the memories I'll always keep with me,
                                        G
They're the memories I always keep with me.
     C                                                  G
The wide world between us, still see you with each new sun,
                                              C
But now I have to tell myself those days are done,
                                          G
Now I have to tell myself those days are done.


[Chorus]
         Emi      D               C        G   
Oh your memory's stronger than a thousand ships
                   D
of war to call me home.
                Emi       D                C       G    
And though its glory I'm chasing its from glory I run,
 Ami       C          G
those glory days are done!


[Refrain]
             C                                    G
But I won't break, even when the earth around me shakes,
                                                      Emi
When the things that have built us up have brought us down,
                                            C         G
Sometimes you have to leave the things you love, for love.
              C                                          G
Your siren's sigh, your whisper always louder than your cry,
                                   Emi
But your memory lives long beyond goodbye,
                                               C         G
Oh I know that I have to leave and can't come back, for you.
