[Verse]

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.


[Chorus]

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

                      G  D
and far in some other sky.


[Verse]

          G
We sing, "is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set to
  Em                                  C                        
decide what her hands might be doing. Ruining the play to in the 
    D
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.


[Outro]

          G                                                    Em
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, 
well
        C                                      G   D       G       
we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la
          Em         ...
 la la la la la la la...  (x2)
