It's a long time since I drank champagne

The ocean is blue, as blue as your eyes

Wherever you're goin,    wherever you've been

It felt just like the old   days

We fell asleep on Beaula's porch

C                      F
All broken down by the side of the road

                  Gsus4    G
I was never more alive or alone

     Am       G         F       C
I've worn the faces off all the cards

I'm gonna take it with me when I go

Children are playing          at the end of the day

              Am  Am/G  D/F#   G    Gsus4
Strangers are singing   on our lawn

               Am  Am/G  D/F#               C
It's got to be more          than flesh and bone

                Am  Am/G   D/F#    Gsus4  G7sus4  G7
All that you're loved   is all you own
[Verse 5]
     C                                F
In a land, there's a town and in that town, there's a house

                             Gsus4  G
And in that house, there's a woman

    Am      G                F       C
And in that woman, there's a heart I love

I'm gonna take it with me when I go
[Outro]
