G F C
got out of town on a boat gon’ to southern islands .
G F C
sailing a reach before a following sea .
G F C
she was making for the trades on the outside ,
G F C
and the downhill run to papeete .

G F C
off the wind on this heading lie the marquesas .
G C Am G
we got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way .
G F C
in a noisy bar in avalon , i tried to call you ,
G F C Am G
but on a midnight watch i realized why twice you ran away .

F C F G
think about how many times i have fallen .
F C F G
spirits are using me; larger voices callin’ .
F C F G
what heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten .
C F G C F G
i have been around the world , lookin’ for that woman – girl
C F G
who knows love can endure .
G G F F C C
and you know it will .
G G F F C G
and you know it will

G F C
when you see the southern cross for the first time ,
G F C
you understand now why you came this way .
G F C
’cause the truth you might be runnin’ from is so small ,
G F C Am G
but it’s as big as the promise , the promise of a comin’ day .

G F C
so i’m sailing for tomorrow . my dreams are A – dying .
G F C Am G
and my love is an anchor tied to you , tied with a silver chain .
G F C
i have my ship , and all her flags are A – flying .
G F C Am G
she is all that i have left , and music is her name .

F C F G
think about how many times i have fallen .
F C F G
spirits are using me; larger voices callin’ .
F C F G
what heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten .
C F G C F G
i have been around the world , lookin’ for that woman – girl
C F G
who knows love can endure .
G G F F C C
and you know it will .
G G F F C G
and you know it will

G F C
so we cheated and we lied and we tested .
G F C G
and we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do .
G F C
you will survive being bested .
G F C Am G
somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you

G G F F C C / G G F F C G
