A New Shore

G                              
As captain of this band of merry 
sailors I'm a black mark I'm a 
  Am
failure
     D                 G
So before you watch me drown
      G
I'm relinquishing command for 
something I don't understand,
            Am               D    
this man's about to turn his whole
             G
 life upside down

D                    G
I set a course for a new shore
D                         G
It looked the same as the one before
    Cm                     G
And I forgot what I'd been sailing 
for
    D                              
And why I thought this time would 
            G
be different

G
I do most of this by feel and let go
 of the wheel the constellations
Am         D               G
Do the navigation on their own.
       G
Whilst yearning for adventure, 
dreading censure in absentia
        Am           D         
I would rather be at sea than be 
   G
alone

(G)
Off the charts we drew
                       Am          
They said there wasn't anything but
 D           G
 fairy tales
I told them it was you, I told them 
         Am           D        
you were everything a fairy tale 
        Em
could be
               Am
The boat sails by
Em               Am              Bm
Oooo-The shore remains and so do I
             D                    G
I swear this time will be different

D                   G
I settled here on a new shore
D                        G
My lips were blue and my legs were 
sore
    Cm                           
And I forget if I was pushed or I 
        G
jumped overboard
    D                              
And after all this time, what's the
             G
 difference?
