Intro:
Am - G - C
[Am] Well I've grown [G] so [C] tired,
Traveling [Am] off to distant lands, beg [G] to go [C] further every mile
[Am] Cause the sea is an [G] awful [C] home
and the [Am] tide just makes the land seems [G] so much more [C] empty and alone
*[Same rhythm as intro]
[Am] Hold fast and steady this tour has no [G] ending in [C] sight
Tell the [Am] crew to get ready, they're in for the [G] ride of their [C] lives
[Am] Holding your arms as I stare into your [G] Dramamine [C] eyes
I [Am] saw this storm coming, I watched it damn [G] near every [C] night
Cause it [C] hurts so much to [G] wake up the way the [Am] swallow birds sing
All I [C] wanted was a [G] pale blue floor to [Am] sleep
And I've [C] traveled a thousand [G] miles across this [Am] endless empty sea
And all I [C] wanted was an [G] angel, she came to [Am] me
[Am] Murder your captain for abandoning [G] this sinking [C] ship
In a [Am] bedroom with gypsies they capture me with [G] loose, salty [C] lips
[Am] Apologize cause your apology hold [G] fast and [C] fires
I [Am] tremble, I shake like a sinner who's [G] standing on [C] trial
Cause it [C] hurts so much to [G] wake up the way the [Am] swallow birds sing
All I [C] wanted was a [G] pale blue floor to [Am] sleep
And I've [C] traveled a thousand [G] miles across this [Am] endless empty sea
And all I [C] wanted was an [G] angel, she came to [Am] me
And every [Am] time I [G] drink, I'll watch that [C] old boat sink
And I'll [Am] send a [G] letter out, another [C] bottle
And I'll [Am] forget about the [G] torture of that [C] sick, unhealthy sea
And I'll [Am] scribble down "please [G] maiden, come back to [C] me"
Cause it [C] hurts so much to [G] wake up the way the [Am] swallow birds sing
All I [C] wanted was a [G] pale blue floor to [Am] sleep
And I've [C] traveled a thousand [G] miles across this [Am] endless empty sea
And all I [C] wanted was an [G] angel, she came to [Am] me
