_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [B] _ [Bb] _ _ I've been singing this song [Eb] [Ab] for a couple [Gm] of years now, [Bb] and it's so nice to sing [Ab] it for a man.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Db] Sometimes I feel _ like a ship in a bottle, _ _ _ lost in a corner [Bm]
on _ _ somebody's shell. _
[Cm] Ship [B] shape and on board, [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
copy of someone [Cm] who [Db] could be [Bb] myself.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Somebody _ made me, they put me _ together _ [Gm] with patience [Eb] and loving _ [Fm] and [Ab] pieces [Bb] of string.
_ _ [C] Caught [B] on a crepe paper [Eb] ocean and [Cm] never _ [F] [Ab] to feel the [Eb] waves wash me.
[Fm] And hear the wind [Bb] _
sing [Fm] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] to call _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Fm]
and help [Cm] me be [Bb] free.
_ [C] How [Cm] _ [B] can I know _ [Eb] if I'm floating [Cm] or sinking [Ab] if I don't take my [Eb] chances on the [Fm] wind [Bb] and [Eb] the _ sea?
_ [F] _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _
Carry _ me down to a river that's peaceful, _ [Gm] send [Eb] me a sail _ [Fm] and wish me [Eb] [Bb] Godspeed.
_ _ [C] _ I'll [B] find my way [Eb] to the blue of [Cm] the ocean, [F] [Ab] the wind on the [Eb] water is [Fm] all that I [Bb] _ need.
[C] To _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab]
shift [Eb] with the tide, _ _ [Ab] come sailing with [Bb] me.
[Fm] _ [Cm] _
Then [B] I'll know _ [Ebm] if I'm floating [A] or sinking, _ [Ab] and I'll take [Eb] my chances [Fm] on the wind [Bb] and [Cm] the sea.
_ [Eb] _ _ I'll _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] take my _ chances _ [G] [Fm] on the wind _ [Bb] and the _ _ _ _ [Eb] sea.
