[Intro] C F C F C F [Verse]
     C   F            C       F
It's time, time for a change

        C    F                  C     F
Cuz I'm tired, of that same old same

Dm              Em              
same old words, same old lines,

F                       G
same old tricks and the same old rhymes
[Verse]
C   F          C    F
Days, precious days

                 C  F           C     F
They roll in and out, just like waves

    Dm              Em
Got boards to bend, planks to nail

F                         G
Charts to make, and I got seas to sail
[Chorus]
        F                    G
So I'll build me a boat with these two hands

           C    C/B               F
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan

Dm                 G
Let the chips fall where they will

                  C               F    C   F
Cause I've got me boats to build
[Verse]
C    F               C       F
Sails, are just like wings

              C    F                   C       F
When the wind blows, how it makes them sing 

Dm              Em            
Songs of life, Songs of hope, 

F                      G
Songs to keep all your dreams afloat
[Chorus]
        F                    G
So I'll build me a boat with these two hands

           C    C/B               F
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan

Dm                 G
Let the chips fall where they will

                  C               F    C   F
Cause I've got me boats to build
[Verse]
C      F        C       F
Shores, distant shores

         C    F                C     F
That's a place, I'll be headed for 

Dm              Em               
Stars at night, to guide my way, 

F                  G
As I sail into the light of day
[Chorus]
          F                    G
Then I'll build me a boat with these two hands

           C    C/B               F
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan

Dm                 G
Let the chips fall where they will

                    C               F
(yeah!) I've got me boats to build

                  C               F
Yeah, I've got me dreams to fill

                    C               F
Yeah, I've got more boats to build

                      C               F
Let the winds take me where they will
