[Verse 1]
E G D
So they rode the sea, it went on and on
G D
They were years away, though it seemed so long
G D
But the captain never told them what he knew
G D
As the poor ship laboured on through the endless blue
A D
[Verse 2]
G D
Oh, the storm was strong and the ship was so frail
G D
But they stumbled on raising broken sails
G D
And they held the heavy sky on their open hands
G D
And they dreamed of when their poor feet would touch the land
A D
[Refrain]
G D
Mabey we're going 'round in circles
G D
Where is this place we're going to?
G D
Does anybody know we're out here on the waves?
G D
And are any of our signals coming through?
A D
G D
We're going 'round in circles
G D
We have no single point of view
G D
And like the clouds that turn to every passing wind
G D
We turn to any signal that comes through
A D
[Verse 3]
G D
At the edge of the sea were the signs of the dove
G D
But the wrong way out and the wrong way up
G D
We pushed the empty frame of reason out the cabin door
G D
No, we won't be needing reasons anymore
A D
