[A] [G] [D]
[A] [D] [A] Got out of town on a [G] boat going to Southern [D] Islands, [A] sailing the reach [G] for a following [A] sea.
She was making for [G] the trades [D] on the outside and [A] the downhill run [G] to Pampa [D] Ape.
[A]
Off the wind on [G] this peddling lava [D] marquesa, you [A] got 80 feet [G] of a water line, [D] nice [A] to make your way.
In a noisy bar [G] in Avalon I [D] tried to call you, but [A] on a midnight watch [G] I realized [D] why twice [Bm] you [A] ran away.
Think [G] about [D] how many [G] times I have [A] [G] fallen, [D] spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] calling.
What heaven [D] brought you and [G] me, can I be [A] forgotten?
Looking around [D] the world, [G] [A] looking, [D] looking [G] for that four-mile [A] girl, who [D] knows, who knows [G] love [A] can endure.
And you know it will, [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
when you see the [G] Southern Cross [D] for the first time, [A] you understand [G] now why you [D] came this way.
[A]
Cause the truth you might [G] be running [D] from is so small, but [A] it's as big [G] as the promise, [D] the [Bm] promise of a [A] coming day.
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, my [D] dreams are a dying, [A] and my love [G] is an anchor tied [D] to you, [Bm] tied with a [A] silver chain.
I have my ship, [G] and all her [D] flags are a-flying, [A] she is all that I [G] have left, [D] and [Bm] music [A] is her name.
[G] Think about, think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen, [D] spirits are using [G] me, larger [A] voices [G] calling.
What [D] heaven brought you and [G] me, can I [A] be forgotten?
Looking around the world, [D] [G] [A]
looking, [D] looking [G] for that four-mile [A] girl, [D] who knows, who [G] knows love [A] can endure.
And you know it will, [G] [D]
and you [A] know [G] it will.

[A] [G]
[D] [A] [G]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] So we cheated and [G] we lied and [D] we tested, [A] and we never failed [G] to fail, it [A] was the easiest thing to do.
You will [G] survive, be [D] invested, somebody [A] fine [G] will come along, make me [D] forget [Bm] about loving [A] you.
In the Southern Cross.
