[Verse 1]
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
I set my sails for the New South Wales
G D7/F# C
Trying to get ahead of the sun
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
The day I left for the New South Wales
Em C
You said, “Babe, don’t forget where you’re from.”
Em C
You said, “Babe, don’t forget where you come from.”

[Verse 2]
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
Wading in the water on the Scarborough Beach
G D7/F# C
Taking pictures of my feet in the sand
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
I should be writing you a letter from the Scarborough beach
Em C
Saying, “Babe, you won’t believe where I am.”
Em C
Saying, “Babe, you won’t believe where I am.”
G D7/F# C D7/F#
G D7/F# C
[Verse 3]
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
Stopping on the highway at the side of the road
G D7/F# C
Staring at a whole new set of stars
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
I go where I go and I do what I’m told
Em C
But it’s easy to forget who you are
Em C
But it’s easy to forget who you are
[Bridge]
G D7/F# Em C
Oh, you read my mind
G D7/F# Em C
Your beauty can leave me blind
G D7/F# Em C
The truth can be cruel and so unkind
Bm C
But I can’t lie to you
Bm C
Sometimes I get so blue
Bm C D G
I don’t want anything to do with myself

[Verse 4]
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
I set my sights on my front porch light
G D7/F# C
Trying to shake this feeling that took hold
G D7/F# Em C D7/F#
Dreaming that you’re leaving on the front porch light
Em C
Maybe turning lead into gold
Em C
Maybe turning lead into gold
[Outro]
F C F C F C G
Singing, “Shine on, shine on, shine on traveling light”

Sing a song, sing it for all the right reasons tonight
