C
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the key.
                              Am                
No one waving for me just the shoreline receding.
 F                                              G                  
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in.
C
Cause who said sailing is fine?
                                                               Am                       
Leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride,
     F                                             G
Looking deep inside but I don't want to look so deep inside yet.



C                                 Am           
Sit down, sit down on the proud wave bye,
 F                                    C
There might not be another star, farther on the line.
C                                          Am
Look out, look out at each town that glides by,
            F                          C
And there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes.
C                                             Am
And see how that light you love now just won't shine,
                                                                                                              F                                                                    C      G
There might just be another star, that's high and far in some other sky.




C
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set
          Am
And decide what a dance might mean to it.
F                           G
Ruining the place where the ensuing may lay escape.
C
We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags
                                  Am
From the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags
              F                           G
Black and battered rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign, war.




C                                                          
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him
               Am             F                C
But we find that the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines.
C                                               Am
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
               F                       C
And we don't recognize the names upon strange signs.




          C                                         Am
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide,
              F                               C       G
Well we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright.
C
Just go la la la la la la la la la...
