[Verse 1]
G D C D What would you be if the waves set you free G D C D And the wind in your hair brought you sailing to me G C G D Tied up on the shore would you weary no more G D C G When will it be, when will it be

G D C D What would I be if a hurricane came G D C D Would I be clever, would I be shamed G C G D Would I lie helpless, cast up on the flames G D C G What will I be, what will I be
[Chorus]
Em D G C I will be here forever Em D G C Till the river runs into the sea Em D I will always be silent G C And hold my head up Em D G C And we will be sailors no more
[Verse 3]
G D C D Where would we go To the sand or the snow G D C D Wander in memories or let them all go G C G D Would we be dreamers, helplessly so G D C G Where would we go, where would we go
[Chorus]
Em D G C I will be here forever Em D G C Till the river runs into the sea Em D I will always be silent G C And hold my head up Em D G C And we will be sailors no more

[Verse 4]
G Let's run right out of the city tonight D With our hair tied up and lips sealed tight Em C Em D I will cry no more, I said I will cry no more G Like an empty tourist at the world fair D I could only stand and stare Em C Em D And let it pass me by, let it pass me by G I never should have said out loud D That I wanted to save the world Em C Em D But I let it slip away, I just let it slip away

[Verse 5]
G The only thing I wanted to be D Was the perfect one who killed for free Em C Em D And I will try no more, I say I will try no more G But now we are together we won't turn back D Where the boats are burned and the ties are black Em C Em D And I will cry no more, I will cry no more
