Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
C F
On a sailboat I am
Am Dm
Slowly floating nowhere
C F Am G
Lost the memories of where I am and why

[Verse 2]
C F
Black ocean churning
Am Dm
A million stars are burning
C F Am G
Planetariums were right about the sky

[Chorus]
F C Em F
Once upon a day I set off on a journey
C Em Dm
Wishing on the wind to take me far from home
F C G D
Now I’m on the waves and I’m taking on water
Dm C Em Bb C
Hard to see I won’t always be alone

[Verse 3]
C F Am Dm
There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me
C F Am G
But it dipped behind my back and settled down
C F Am Dm C
It used to square up with the land, used to size it in my hand
C F Am G
But it fell behind the line that meets the sky

[Chorus]
F C Em F
Once upon a day I set off on a journey
C Em Dm
Wishing on the wind to take me far from home
F C G D
Now I’m on the waves and I’m taking on water
Dm C Em Bb C
Hard to see I won’t always be alone

[Bridge]
Am C F
Inside this storm
Am C F
Whipping in the wind, my sail is torn
C Bb F C Em Bb
In other words, the ends I mend are not my own ooooooh ooooooh
F C F Bb F C G D
Oooohs
Dm C Em Bb C
Hard to see I won’t always be alone

[Verse 4]
C F
On a sailboat I am
Am Dm
Slowly floating nowhere
C F Am G C
Hoping someday I’ll wash upon someone else’s shore
