[Intro]
G Em D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
G Em D Dsus2 D
Before the war I had no need for traveling,
C/G G
Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave
Gsus2 G Em D Dsus2 D
And after all this time I found that I'm avoiding thee
Am C/G
For nothing more or less then fear
G Em D Dsus2 D
Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear
Am C/G G Gsus2 G
Although it's only coming home that brings you near
[Verse 2]
G Em D Dsus2 D
Master Dawn my brother is a sailor
C/G G Gsus2 G
Upon this ship of life we are the masts, the sails, and the wind
G Em D Dsus2 D
And you can understand, we need a hand to guide us in
Am C/G
So many claim to be the one
G Em D Dsus2 D
But like a shadow on the sun they fade and spin
Am C/G G Gsus2 G
And we are scattered on the ocean once again
G Em D Dsus2 D C/G G
[Verse 3]
G Em D Dsus2 D
Before the war I had no need for traveling,
C/G G
Indeed I do not know what made it so important to leave
Gsus2 G Em D Dsus2 D
And after all this time I found that I'm avoiding thee
Am C/G
For nothing more or less then fear
G Em D Dsus2 D
Of what I have to gain from staying in the clear
Am C/G G Gsus2 G
Although it's only coming home that brings you near
Am C/G G Gsus2 G
Although it's only coming home that brings a tear
