G
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key
Em
No one waving for me just the shoreline receding
CD
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in
G
Cause who said sailing is fine?
Em
Leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride
CD
Looking deep inside but I don't want to look so deep inside yet
GEm
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye
CD
There might not be another star, farther on the line
GEm
Look out, look out at each town that glides by
CD
And there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes
GEm
And see how that light you love now just won't shine
C
There might just be another star
GD
That's high and far in some other sky
G
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set
Em
And decide what a dance might mean to it
CD
Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape
G
We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags
Em
From the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags
CD
Black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war
G
And we sail out on order of him
EmC
But we find that the maps he sent to us
D
Don't mention lost coastlines
GEm
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
CGD
And we don't recognize the names upon strange signs
GEm
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide
CGD
Well we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright
G
Just go la la, la la la la
EmCD
La la la la, oh oh oh
G
Just go la la, la la la la
EmCD
La la la la, oh oh oh
