[N] [Bb]
[F]
[Bb] I don't know what day it is, or if it's dark or [Dm] fair
[C] Somehow [Gm] that's just the way [Cm] it is, and I [F] don't really [Bb] care
I go to this or that place, I seem alive and well
[F] My [C] head is just the hat place, my [Am] breast [D] empty
[Gm] shed
And I've [Bb] a faded [Cm] [F] dream to [Bb] sell
[Cm]
[F] All [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] along [F] all that [Bb]
sea, why does [Eb] nobody [Gm] [Bb] care for me?
[Eb] When [D] there's no love to hold my [Ebm] love, [Bb] why is my [F] heart [G] so frail?
[Cm] Like a ship [F] without [Bb] a sail
Out [C] on the ocean, sailors can use [Bb] a char
I'm on [C] the ocean, guided by just a [Bb] lonely
[D] heart
[Fm] Still [Eb] [Cm] alone, [F] still at sea, [Fm] [G] still [Eb] there's no one to [Dm] care for [Eb] me
When there's [D] no hand to hold my [Ebm] hand, [Bb] life is [Fm] a [G] loveless tale
