[Verse]
A G D
Got outta town on a boat going to southern islands
A G D
Sailing a reach before a following sea
A G D
She was making for the trades on the outside
A G D
And the downhill run to Pape'ete
A G D
Off this wind on this heading lie the Marqueses
A G D Bm A
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
A G D
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
A G D Bm A
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Think about
G D G A
Think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
G D G A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
[Chorus]
D G A
I have been around the world
D G A
Looking for that woman girl
D G A
Who knows love can endure
A G D
And you know it will
A G D
And you know it will
[Verse]
A G D
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
A G D
You understand now why you came this way
A G D
Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
A G
But it's as big as the promise
D Bm A
The promise of a coming day
A G D
So I'm sailing for tommorrow, my dreams are a dying
A G D
And my love is an anchor tied to you
A G
Tied with a silver chain
D
I have my ship and all her flags are a flying
A G
She is all that I have left
D Bm A
And music is her name
Pre-Chorus]
A
Think about
G D G A
Think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
G D G A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
[Chorus]
D G A
I have been around the world
D G A
Looking for that woman girl
D G A
Who knows love can endure
A G D
And you know it will
A G D
And you know it will
[Verse]
A G D
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
A G D
And we never failed to fail
A G D
It was the easiest thing to do
A G D
You will survive being bested
A G
Somebody fine will come along
D Bm A
Make me forget about loving you
