G
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay, No one waving for

Em                              C                              D
me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I

                         G
didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the

                     Em                                  C
faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep

                   D
inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet.

G                                      Em                       C
Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye, there might not be another star, {pause}

               G     G                                     Em
further on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and

         C                                G
there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes.

    G                                          Em                          C
And see how that light you love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high

                      G  D
and far in some other sky.

          G
We sing, "is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set to

  Em                                  C                            D
decide what her hands might be doing. Ruining the play to in the ensuing

                  G
melee escape". We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from

                               Em
the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered

C                              D
rattling our swords in service of some faded, foreign lord.

   G                                 Em
We sail out on order from him but we find the maps he

C                                  G            G
sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen

                      Em                   C
has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon these

G
signs.

          G                                                    Em
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well

        C                                      G   D       G                 Em         ...
we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la...  (x2)
