(D D)Come sail your (A A)ships around me,
(G G)and burn your (D D)bridges (A A)down
(D D)We make a little (A A)history, baby,
(G G)everytime you (D D)come a(A A)round

(D D)Come loose your (A A)dogs upon me,
(G G)and let your (D D)hair hang (A A)down
(D D)You are a little (A A)mystery to me,
(G G)everytime you (D D)come a(A A)round

(G G)We talk about it (D D)all night (A A)long
(G G)We define our (D D)moral (A A)grounds
(Bm Bm)But when I crawl (D D)into your arms
(G G)everything comes (D D)tumbling (A A)down.

(D D)Come sail your (A A)ships around me,
(G G)and burn your (D D)bridges (A A)down
(D D)We make a little (A A)history, baby,
(G G)everytime you (D D)come a(A A)round

(G G)Your face has fallen (D D)sad (A A)now
(G G)For you know the (D D)time is (A A)nigh
(Bm Bm)When I must re(D D)move your wings
(G G)And you, you must (D D)try to (A A)fly

(D D)Come sail your (A A)ships around me,
(G G)and burn your (D D)bridges (A A)down
(D D)We make a little (A A)history, baby,

(D D)Come loose your (A A)dogs upon me,
(G G)and let your (D D)hair hang (A A)down
(D D)You are a little (A A)mystery to me,
(G G)everytime you (D D)come a(A A)round
