[Verse]
DGA
We were dead on arrival,
DGA
Safe home at last.
DGA
No cannon fire dockside,
DGA
No flags half-mast.
DGA
We were sold out for silver
DGA
And a string of black pearls
DGA
On the loneliest island
DGA
At the edge of the world.
[Bridge]
AmG/BC
Like destiny's children,
AmG/BC
Souls lost at sea.
DA
No room on the lifeboat,
DA
you can hold on to me.
[Chorus]
DGA
Hold on to me, (riff)
DGA
Hold on to me,
DGA
Hold on to me, (riff)
DGA
You can hold on to me
[Verse]
DGA
Now the voyage is over,
DGA
We're back on dry land.
DGA
In our eyes are the stories,
DGA
Of the rope and the brand.
[Bridge]
AmG/BC
Like destiny's children,
AmG/BC
souls lost at sea.
DA
No room on the lifeboat,
DA
you can hold on to me.
DA
No room on the lifeboat,
DA
you can hold on to me.
[Chorus]
DGA
Hold on to me, (riff)
DGA
Hold on to me,
DGA
Hold on to me, (riff)
DGA
You can hold on to me,
